Characteristics of plant capsules
The capsule has high transparency and good color.
Good formability and solidity after dipping in glue, which is more conducive to demoulding.
The capsule shell has uniform thickness and good toughness.
It does not contain chloroethanol, and the heavy metal indicators meet the requirements of the United States and European Pharmacopoeia.
HPMC packaging and storage
Barrel or paper plastic bag lined with polyethylene film inner bag. Net weight of each bag: 25kg.
Protect from sun and rain during storage and transportation.
