SDS Link >beyond thickening
Thickener choices can not only impact formulation viscosity but sensorial aspects too. Multifunctional benecel™ hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) products are nature-derived rheology modifiers that enhance the sensory experience. Benecel™ hpmc is available in a wide range of grades to suit all your thickening challenges.
Derived from cellulose, a natural, abundant and renewable resource, benecel™ hpmc products are water-soluble, non-ionic polymers. Benecel™ hpmc products are efficient thickeners and film formers that enhance foam production and foam stabilization in surfactant systems for improved foam quality that is longer lasting. Due to its non-ionic character, benecel™ is compatible with most commonly used surfactants, enabling optical clarity in formulations.

Benecel™ methylcellulose and hypromellose (hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose or HPMC) are versatile excipients with a variety of applications.
High-viscosity grades are widely used in hydrophilic matrix controlled-release systems. Low-viscosity grades are used for rheology control and as tablet binders.
