Low-Substituted Hydroxypropyl Cellulose

L-HPC (Low Substituted Hydroxypropyl Cellulose) is a non-ionic, partially substituted cellulose ether derived from natural plant fibers. With low hydroxypropyl substitution, L-HPC is water-insoluble but capable of swelling in water, making it an ideal functional additive in pharmaceuticalsfood, and cosmetics. It is widely recognized for its safety, stability, and multifunctional performance.

Benefits of L-HPS

HEC powder

Basic Characteristics

1. Chemical structure: A small amount of hydroxypropyl is introduced into the glucose unit of cellulose, the degree of substitution is low, and part of the cellulose crystal structure is retained.
2. Solubility: Insoluble in common solvents such as water and ethanol, but swellable (swelling by absorbing water). Partially soluble in alkaline solution.
3. Viscosity: Due to the low degree of substitution, the viscosity of the aqueous solution is much lower than that of the highly substituted model (HPMC).

Low-Substituted Hydroxypropyl Cellulose Uses

Pharmaceutical

Compared with traditional disintegrants, it disintegrates faster without affecting hardness.

  • Tablet Disintegrant:

    L-HPC swells rapidly in water, promoting fast disintegration and enhancing drug release.
  • Dry and Wet Binder:

    Offers excellent compressibility for direct compression or wet granulation processes.

Food Industry

L-HPS is often used as a stabilizer and thickener in the food industry.

  • Texturizer and Stabilizer:

    Used in food supplements, dietary fiber products, and functional foods to improve mouthfeel and stability.

  • Low-Calorie Formulations:

    As a plant-derived fiber, L-HPC can act as a fat replacer or dietary fiber additive in health-oriented products.

Cosmetics & Personal Care

Used to adjust rheology in lotions and creams.

  • Film-Forming Agent:

    Helps in the formation of soft, flexible films in skincare and makeup formulations.

  • Stabilizer:

    Prevents separation in emulsions and suspensions, enhancing product uniformity and shelf life.
