L-HPC NBD-022

CAS Number
9004-64-2
EC Number
618-388-0
Chemical Name
Low-Substituted Hydroxypropyl Cellulose

L-HPC (low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose NF, JP, EP) This dual functioning excipient acts as both a disintegrant and binder. It is not the same as HPC. L-HPC is insoluble in water. It is an effective disintegrant due to its swelling action in water. Because is has good compressibility, it functions as a dry binder.NBD Grades:Better flowability because of the non-fibrous particle shapeBetter compressibilityBetter tasteEnhanced stability because it is non-ionic and has low water activityIt is peroxide free and provides excellent compatibility for oxygen sensitive APIsA variety of grades are available depending on the application. L-HPC NBD-022 is suitable for direct compression and ODTs.
