Methyl Cellulose is generally considered safe, non-toxic, no sensitization effect, no irritant. In
the Pharmaceutical industry low viscosity or medium viscosity of methyl cellulose adhesive can be used as tablet, also can be used in tablet coating. High viscosity of methyl cellulose can be used to change disruption or as a controlled-release formulation skeleton materials. High substitution degree, low viscosity of methyl cellulose can be used for water-based coating, also can be used as suspension agent, thickening agent, emulsion stability agent, protective colloid. High degree of substitution and high viscosity methyl cellulose can be used in eye drops, also can be used as cream preparation or gels of substrate materials.

Applications

• Tablet Coatings  • Granulation  • Controlled Release  • Water – Soluble Thermoplastics  • Liquid preparations
