Overview

Microcrystalline cellulose is very strong and chemically inert, so it is a very ideal carrier. API layered microcrystalline cellulose can be filled into capsules or pressed into tablets. They have a very tight particle size distribution, which can better control and improve the consistency of API release between batches. The uniformity of particle size minimizes the risk of packaging or tablet pressing, resulting in higher uniformity of API content. In addition, different APIs can be used in a variety of concentrates and combined with pellet core coating in a unit dose.

SKUAverage Particle Size by Laser Diffraction (µm)Bulk Density (g/mL)Main Application
M489093-0115max 0.26Very fine grade, which gives a pleasant mouth feeling, masks bitter tastes and supports flavors.
M489093-02650.26–0.31Fine standard MCC grade, especially suited for wet granulation, roller compaction and spheronization. Very high compactibility.
M489093-03650.26-0.34Same quality as grade 101/50M, but very low moisture content (< 1.5 %) for processing water-sensitive actives.
M489093-04650.35-0.46Same quality as grade 101, but increased bulk density and improved flow properties.
M489093-051300.28-0.33Medium size standard MCC grade, suited for the majority of directly compressible actives. Combines good flow and high compactibility.
