Pharmaceutical Industry

Pharmaceutical grade cellulose ethers are high-purity derivatives of cellulose, designed specifically for use in drug delivery systems. These polymers are used as inactive ingredients (excipients) to improve drug stability, control release rates, enhance patient compliance, and ensure manufacturing efficiency.

At TENESSY, we provide a complete range of pharmaceutical grade cellulose ethers — including HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose)HEC (Hydroxyethyl Cellulose), and CMC (Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose).

Tablets & Capsules

Pharmaceutical grade HPMC is a gold-standard excipient in tablet and capsule formulations. It works as:

A binder to help particles stick together during tablet compression.
A film-coating agent to protect the drug, mask taste, and control release.
A matrix-forming polymer in sustained-release tablets.
A capsule shell material in vegetarian HPMC capsules, ideal for sensitive APIs.

Liquid Suspensions & Syrups

CMC and HEC play essential roles in liquid pharmaceutical formulations:

CMC acts as a suspending agent in oral syrups, maintaining uniformity and preventing sedimentation.
HEC provides viscosity and clarity in eye drops, nasal sprays, and skin lotions.
Both materials are non-ionic, non-toxic, and generally recognized as safe (GRAS).

Topical and Mucosal Delivery

HEC is highly valued in semi-solid formulations:

Used in ophthalmic solutions, dermatological creams, and mucosal gels.
Forms clear, stable gels with a pleasant texture.
Compatible with active ingredients like corticosteroids, antihistamines, and antibiotics.

We Provide Pharmaceutical Grade Professional Cellulose Ether Products

Unlike industrial grades, pharmaceutical cellulose ethers are produced under controlled environments to meet USP, EP, JP, and ChP pharmacopeia standards. They have low microbial counts, low heavy metal content, tight viscosity specifications, and consistent chemical structure — making them ideal for oral, topical, ophthalmic, and mucosal applications.

Each type of cellulose ether offers distinct benefits for pharmaceutical formulations:

HPMC

HPMC

Acts as a binder, film-coating agent, and controlled-release polymer.
Offers excellent compressibility, flowability, and lubrication in tablet manufacturing.
Enables modified-release (sustained, delayed) profiles in solid dosage forms.
Used in HPMC capsules as a plant-based gelatin alternative.
HEC

HEC

Primarily used in topical gels, ophthalmic formulations, and creams.
Provides smooth rheology and good spreadability.
Compatible with electrolytes and other active ingredients.
Stable over a wide pH range (3–10).
powder

CMC

Used as a thickener, stabilizer, and suspending agent in oral suspensions and syrups.
Prevents sedimentation in liquids.
Enhances the mouthfeel and overall palatability of the dosage.
Functions well at low concentrations.

Benefits of Using Our Pharmaceutical Grade Cellulose Ether

High Purity and Batch Consistency

Our cellulose ethers are manufactured under GMP-compliant conditions, ensuring ultra-low levels of heavy metals, microbial load, and residual solvents.

Versatility and API Compatibility

Our cellulose ethers are non-ionic, non-toxic, and compatible with a broad range of active pharmaceutical ingredients. They enable flexible formulation design and reduce the risk of ingredient interaction or instability.

Customizable Grades

Whether you need a fast-hydrating HPMC for direct compression or a high-viscosity CMC for suspension stability, we can supply the right grade to support your formulation goals.
