Security
Implementing the requirements of ChP (the Fourth part of 2020 edition), USP-NF 2024, PhEur 11th for Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC). Manufacturing in line with the GMP standard. Both HEC and other biobased polymers are widely used as pharmaceutical excipients, food additives, and cosmetic and detergent ingredients without poison and irritation. But the orally taking in great amount is absolutely forbidden.
Package
25 kg/fiber drum or packed in multi-layer paper bag with inner PE film reinforced. Support customization according to specific requirements.
Storage & Transport
HEC products enjoy the nature of stability but they easily absorb the moisture from the air. Therefore, they should be stored and transported in the airtight containers and placed somewhere shady and dry.
