In product R&D, Topchain Pharma pursues fine quality and development and innovation and will never stop doing so. Its product positioning is based on meeting and exceeding the requirements of pharmacopoeias of various countries. It takes aligning with global famous brands and even surpassing them in some properties as the target and takes meeting customers' preparation R&D needs and solving their pain points as the orientation. The R&D Department focuses on the application of cellulose and its derivatives in pharmaceutical preparations and commits itself to developing cutting-edge and innovative pharmaceutical excipients with special functions.


After many years of hard work, the R&D Department has established sound partnerships with many domestic pharmaceutical development companies and R&D departments of pharmaceutical enterprises.

Product Development

Natural cellulose comes from various resources in nature. It's renewable, degradable and environmentally friendly, so it's widely used in the textile and papermaking and other industries. MCC products obtained from natural cellulose after being further processed have been widely used in the field of medicine and healthcare. 


Topchain Pharma develops products using its exclusive technologies with high-quality imported wood dissolving pulp as the starting materials. Now, the company has successfully mastered multiple technologies for the R&D and industrial application of cellulose related products.
