What is Methyl 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose?
Chemical properties
soluble in cold water, flocculates at elevated temperatures
Chemical properties
A white, yellowish-white or grayish-white powder or granules, hygroscopic after drying.
The Uses of Methyl 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose
Water retention aid, thickening agent, protective colloid, suspending agent, binder and stabilizer.
What are the applications of Application
Methyl 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose is a non-ionic water-soluble polymer
Pharmaceutical Applications
Hydroxyethylmethyl cellulose is used as an excipient in a wide range of pharmaceutical products, including oral tablets and suspensions, and topical gel preparations. It has similar properties to methylcellulose, but the hydroxyethyl groups make it more readily soluble in water and solutions are more tolerant of salts and have a higher coagulation temperature.
Safety
Hydroxyethylmethyl cellulose is used as an excipient in various oral and topical pharmaceutical preparations, and is generally regarded as an essentially nontoxic and nonirritant material.
storage
Hydroxyethylmethyl cellulose is hygroscopic and should therefore be stored under dry conditions away from heat.
Regulatory Status
GRAS listed. Included in nonparenteral medicines licensed in Europe (oral suspensions, tablets, and topical preparations).
