HPMC K100M is a very high-viscosity cellulose derivative used primarily as a controlled-release (sustained-release) matrix polymer, thickener, binder, and film former.
“K100M” indicates a viscosity of approx. 100,000 mPa.s in a 2% aqueous solution—making it one of the strongest gel-forming excipients in the HPMC family.
Ideal for:
✔ Hydrophilic matrix tablets
✔ Extended / sustained release formulations
✔ High-viscosity thickening systems
-
Freely soluble in cold water, forming a highly viscous, clear to opalescent solution
-
Insoluble in hot water (swells, but does not dissolve)
-
Insoluble in organic solvents (ethanol, acetone, chloroform), but may swell
-
Compatible with salts and most hydrophilic polymers
Forms a thick, strong gel barrier controlling drug diffusion and erosion.
✔ High-Viscosity ThickenerOne of the highest viscosity non-ionic polymers used in pharma.
✔ BinderEffective in both dry and wet granulation.
✔ Film FormingProduces strong, clear films for tablet coating.
✔ Stabilizer / EmulsifierMaintains uniformity in suspensions & semisolid systems.
