Hypromellose Acetate Succinate

01 Overview

Hypromellose acetate succinate is our second enteric coating material and it was developed for aqueous coating.

Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose Acetate Succinate (HPMCAS)

Hypromellose Acetate Succinate Cas No. 71138-97-1

 

SidleyCel® Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose Acetate Succinate (HPMCAS) is mixed ester of HPMC acetate and succinic acid. It is tasteless, white to light yellow powder or granule, and mainly used for enteric coating.

Characteristics

As enteric coating material, it has good film-forming property without plasticizer, good solubility in the upper part of small intestine (duodenum), thus can increase medicine absorption in small intestine. It can be well dissolved in acetone, ethanol- dichloromethane, acetone- ethanol- water and other solvents.

Comply with USP33
