Ethyl Cellulose (EC)

MikaZone® Ethyl cellulose (EC) is a compound that is insoluble in water but easily dissolves in various organic solvents. In the pharmaceutical industry, it’s commonly used as a binder for tablets and granules. It enhances tablet hardness, improves the appearance, and helps mask unpleasant flavors. Ethyl cellulose also plays a crucial role in protecting drugs that are sensitive to moisture and serves as a reinforcing material in extended-release formulations. This versatile compound meets the standards set by USP, EP, and CP, ensuring its quality and suitability for pharmaceutical use.
