FOR PHARMA

VIVAPHARM^® HPMC, hypromellose, is a cellulose-based polymer for film coating, wet granulation, and hard capsule manufacturing. It is practically insoluble in hot water, acetone, anhydrous ethanol, and toluene and dissolves in cold water, resulting in a colloidal solution. VIVAPHARM HPMC is E type 2910, meaning that its average content of methoxyl group is 29% and its average content of hydroxypropyl group is 10%. The JRS Pharma hypromellose product line includes a variety of E grades ranging from low to high viscosity.

VIVAPHARM^® HPMC offers:

• Wide viscosity range
• Neutral color and taste
• Rapid solubility
• Clear and robust films

New developments in the dairy and delicatessen area require highly functional, cost-efficient and easy to use ingredients for heat protection, such as thickeners, fat replacers, stabilizers, or gelling agents. Products based on organic raw materials have an advantage in this regards and can score on several functionality levels.

In addition to classic food fibers the product portfolio includes the colloidal systems developed by JRS, which are part of the VITACEL^® and VIVAPUR^® family as well as VIVAPUR^® Methylcellulose (MC) and VIVAPUR^® Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) as cellulose-based hydrocolloids.

Thanks to their inclusion in the cellulose family and innovative multi-functionality they fit excellently into the JRS overall food portfolio.
