HPMC (Type II, Viscosity:5mPa.s)

HPMC (Hypromellose) (Type II, Viscosity:5mPa.s) is a hydrophilic, non-ionic cellulose ether used to form swellable-soluble matrices. HPMC (Type II, Viscosity:5mPa.s) is widely used in agent formulations due to its biocompatibility, uncharged nature, solubility in water and thermoplastic behavior[1][2].
