Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate
Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate (CAS: 9050-31-1) is a cellulose derivative designed for specific aqueous solubility characteristics. Its coatings exhibit solubility in mild aqueous acid and readily dissolve in aqueous base. This property makes it a valuable component in formulations requiring controlled release or pH-dependent dissolution. Supplied by Tech Serve Solutions, it is suitable for various material science and polymer applications.

pH-Dependent Coatings
Used as a coating material that becomes soluble in mild aqueous acid. It readily dissolves in aqueous bases at pH levels of 4.2 and above.
Controlled Release Formulations
The pH-dependent solubility allows for its application in systems requiring controlled release of active ingredients, triggered by changes in pH.
Polymer Science Applications
Serves as a functional polymer in various material science and polymer research contexts where specific solubility profiles are advantageous.
