KLUCEL™ HPC is a nonionic water-soluble cellulose ether with unique combination of properties, It is soluble in cold-water and polar organic solvents, surface active, and forms films of exceptional flexibility without addition of plasticizers.

KLUCEL H CS has excellent film-forming properties and thickens non-aqueous systems and provide lubricious skin feel. Klucel™ CS Grade is a nonionic, water-soluble cellulose ether with a versatile combination of properties. It combines solubility in aqueous and polar organic solvents, thermoplasticity, and surface activity with the thickening and stabilizing properties of other water-soluble cellulose polymers. HPC films are flexible without plasticizers and non-tacky at high humidity.

POLYPLASDONE™ XL by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a rheology modifier and tablet disintegrant. It is a non-ionic, water-insoluble but swellable crosslinked PVP homopolymer. Due to porous particle morphology, it acts as super disintegrants, providing rapid disintegration to denture-cleaning tablets.

PLASDON K29/32 polymer by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a rheology modifier. It is a stable, water-soluble polyvinylpyrrolidone that meets U.S., European and Japanese pharmacopoeia specifications for Povidone. It forms complexes with catechins, just as it does with many other compounds that cause discoloration of teeth. The polymer can be effectively used to bind and remove stains through hydrogen bonding with chemical compounds.
