Methylcellulose(CAT: R060400) is a chemically modified cellulose derivative used in a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics. It is known for its ability to form gels and thicken solutions when dissolved in cold water, making it a valuable excipient in drug formulations, particularly as a binder, thickener, and emulsifier. In the pharmaceutical industry, Methylcellulose is often utilized in controlled-release formulations, ophthalmic preparations, and as a laxative due to its water-retaining properties. It is also popular in the food industry as a stabilizer and thickening agent. Non-toxic and non-allergenic, Methylcellulose is widely regarded as a safe and versatile ingredient.
