KimaCell®HPMC E15 Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose is a water-soluble cellulose polymer that helps optimize the solubility enhancement of poorly soluble drugs by maintaining a stable solid dispersion and inhibiting API crystallization.

More sophisticated drug discovery techniques have resulted in pipeline compounds requiring enhanced solubility to achieve therapeutic efficacy. Solid dispersion is one of the key technologies for formulating oral solid dosage forms containing APIs with bioavailability challenges. HPMC E15 is specifically designed for the production of solid dispersions in the pharmaceutical industry by spray drying or hot melt extrusion.

What HPMC 15 CPS Means?

HPMC 15 CPS means Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose with a viscosity of 15 centipoises (cps). It is a type of cellulose-based polymer commonly used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and construction. The "15 cps" specification indicates the viscosity of the HPMC solution, with higher numbers indicating thicker solutions. This viscosity is important for controlling the flow and thickness of products in which HPMC E15 is used, such as in pharmaceutical tablets.

HPMC E15 Viscosity

HPMC E15 refers to Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose （9004 65 3）with a nominal viscosity of 12.0-18.0 centipoises (cPs). The viscosity of HPMC E15 can vary slightly depending on the concentration and temperature of the solution it is dissolved in. However, the nominal viscosity value of 12-18 mPa.s provides a general indication of its viscosity range.
