Most cellulosic polymers cannot be used as carriers for preparing solid dispersion of drugs by hot melt extrusion (HME) due to their high melt viscosity and thermal degradation at high processing temperatures. Three HME-grade hydroxypropyl methylcelluloses, namely Affinisol (TM) HPMC HME 15 cP, Affinisol (TM) HPMC HME 100 cP, and Affinisol (TM) HPMC HME 4 M, have recently been introduced by The Dow Chemical Co. to enable the preparation of solid dispersion at lower and more acceptable processing temperatures. In the present investigation, physicochemical properties of the new polymers relevant to HME were determined and compared with that of Kollidon (R) VA 64. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), modulated differential scanning calorimetry (mDSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), moisture sorption, rheology, and torque analysis by melt extrusion were applied. PXRD and mDSC showed that the Affinisol (TM) polymers were amorphous in nature. According to TGA, the onset of degradation for all polymers was >220 degrees C. The Affinisol (TM) polymers exhibited less hygroscopicity than Kollidon (R) VA 64 and another HPMC polymer, Methocel (TM) K100LV. The complex viscosity profiles of the Affinisol (TM) polymers as a function of temperature were similar. The viscosity of the Affinisol (TM) polymers was highly sensitive to the shear rate applied, and unlike Kollidon (R) VA 64, the viscosity decreased drastically when the angular frequency was increased. Because of the very high shear rate encountered during melt extrusion, Affinisol (TM) polymers showed capability of being extruded at larger windows of processing temperatures as compared to that of Kollidon (R) VA 64.
