Low-Substituted Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (L-HPC) is a water-insoluble disintegrant derived from cellulose via etherification. It features a specific degree of substitution that enables rapid swelling in aqueous media to facilitate tablet breakup. The chemical structure corresponds to the general formula C6H7O2(OCH2CHOHCH3)x(OC3H7)y, with CAS No. 9004-61-9.
Store in cool, dry conditions below 25°C to prevent moisture absorption and clumping. Avoid inhalation of dust during handling; use appropriate PPE including masks and gloves. Not suitable for parenteral preparations due to insolubility.
