What are the benefits of using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose as a hollow capsule?

This product is 2-hydroxypropyl ether methyl cellulose, which is a semi-synthetic product. It can be produced by two methods: (1) After treating cotton linters or wood pulp fibers with caustic soda, they are mixed with chloromethane and epoxy Propane reacts, refined and pulverized to get it; (2) Use appropriate grade of methyl cellulose to treat with sodium hydroxide, react with propylene oxide under high temperature and high pressure to the ideal level, and refine it. The molecular weight ranges from 10,000 to 1,500,000.

★ Pure natural concept, enhance digestion and absorption.

★ Low water content, 5%-8%. Strong moisture absorption resistance, the contents are not easy to agglomerate, and the capsule shell is not easy to deform, become brittle, and harden.

★ No risk of cross-linking reaction, no interaction, high stability, since hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is a cellulose derivative, there is no risk of cross-linking reaction of protein substances in gelatin.

★ Low requirements for storage conditions:

It is almost not brittle in a low humidity environment, has good stability at high temperatures, and the capsule does not deform.

★ Uniform standards and good compatibility:

Applicable to national pharmacopoeia standards, the shape, size, appearance and filling method are equivalent to gelatin hollow capsules, and there is no need to replace equipment and parts.

★ Non-animal source, no potential risk of growth hormone or drugs left in the animal body.

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose empty capsules are different from traditional gelatin empty capsules. They are hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) made of wood pulp. In addition to the advantages of the pure natural concept, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose empty capsules also It can improve the absorption and digestion of protein, fat and carbohydrates, and has technical advantages and characteristics that traditional gelatin hollow capsules do not have. With the continuous enhancement of people’s self-care awareness, the development of vegetarianism, the elimination of mad cow disease, foot-and-mouth disease on human health, and the influence of religion and other factors, pure natural and plant-based capsule products will become the leading direction for the development of the capsule industry. .
