Product Applications
VAMCELL® HPMC E15 is ideal for:
Pharmaceutical Tablet Coatings – Used as a film-forming agent in tablet coatings to improve drug dissolution and enhance tablet water resistance.
Pharmaceutical Formulations – Functions as a thickener, dispersant, emulsifier, and adhesive agent in pharmaceutical formulations.
Polymer Gel Formulations – Used in polymer gel systems containing synthetic polymers, water, and alcohol to help prevent water separation and improve water retention.
Cosmetics – Serves as a thickening agent in cosmetic formulations to achieve the desired consistency.
Daily Chemical Products – Used as a thickener and multifunctional additive in various daily chemical formulations.
Recommended Dosage:
The recommended dosage of HPMC E15 depends on the specific application, formulation requirements, and desired performance. For pharmaceutical formulations, tablet coatings, cosmetics, and daily chemical products, the optimal dosage should be determined through formulation testing to achieve the desired thickening, film-forming, and water retention properties.
