  • Understanding Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose Properties and Applications in China


  • Over the years gelatin capsules were the preferred choice of capsule shells in the pharmaceutical industry and planned to remain popular, however vegetarian capsules such as Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose or HPMC capsules have started to infiltrate.

  • One of the primary functions of both HPMC and HEC is to act as thickening agents. HPMC generally provides a smoother texture and more consistent viscosity across different shear rates, making it an optimal choice for products where a controlled flow is essential, such as in lotions, creams, and various liquid formulations. Its ability to maintain viscosity stability under varying conditions can result in a more predictable user experience.

  • Another notable property of HEC is its non-toxic and biocompatible nature, which makes it an ideal choice for personal care and pharmaceutical products. Furthermore, HEC exhibits excellent film-forming capabilities, enabling the creation of protective layers in various applications. These attributes have led to its widespread use in gels, creams, lotions, and even as a binder in tablet formulations.
