Westpoint Pharma's RHEOL® HPMC K Series (Hypromellose 2208) includes four standard grades—XD-K100, XD-K4M, XD-K15M, and XD-K100M—plus an XD-K100M CR grade optimized for direct compression. Covering a wide viscosity range of 80–140,000 mPa·s (2% at 20°C), it provides flexible options for formulators. The K Series is engineered for high-speed direct compression, producing high-hardness tablets at lower main compression pressure to improve manufacturing efficiency and minimize weight variation.
RHEOL® HPMC K Series is predominantly utilized as a hydrophilic gel matrix material in controlled-release formulations, where it rapidly hydrates at body temperature to form a robust gel barrier that modulates drug diffusion and erosion for sustained therapeutic effects. This makes it the ideal choice for oral solid sustained and controlled-release preparations, ensuring consistent drug release profiles. Additionally, it functions effectively as a thickening and suspending agent in various pharmaceutical liquid and semi-solid formulations, providing reliable viscosity control.
