L-HPC (low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose NF, JP, EP)

This dual functioning excipient acts as both a disintegrant and binder.
It is not the same as HPC.
L-HPC is insoluble in water. It is an effective disintegrant due to its swelling action in water. Because is has good compressibility, it functions as a dry binder.

L-HPC benefits are:

Enhanced stability because it is non-ionic and has low water activity
It is peroxide free and provides excellent compatibility for oxygen sensitive APIs
Improved disintegration

A variety of grades are available depending on the application.

L-HPC LH-B1 is suitable for fluidized-bed granulation, direct compression for high-

load formulations and as a dispersion aid for capsules.
