Technical Specification
Microcrystalline Cellulose is a purified, partly depolymerised cellulose with shorter, crystalline polymer chains. Its strong binding performance make MCC one of the most commonly used fillers and binders in drug formulations, together with Lactose. The product is manufactured by controlled partial hydrolysis of high purity wood pulp, followed by purification and drying.
Microcrystalline Cellulose, generally named MCC, is produced in a controlled environment. The end result is a pure, white powder without any taste or smell, able to add form and hardness to your tablets. MCC maintains the necessary advantages of a diluent. It is effective as a bulking agent in your tablet or capsule, giving the desirable weight for your customers. Microcrystalline cellulose has minimal bulk density, increasing flow characteristics. Easy flow helps to ensure that each ingredient is consistently spread throughout a mixture. If the mix is consistent, each tablet will have the same quantity of each ingredient at the end of production, creating a quality product.
Microcrystalline Cellulose really does its job, and also it does it well. It works well with many other popular excipients and is a integral part of many manufacturers formulas. Binders undoubtedly are a crucial element in the tableting process simply because they ensure “hardness” in a tablet. Additionally, compressibility affects all aspects of the final product, for example, disintegration, dissolution and absorption. MCC is directly compressible and therefore can be compressed into a tablet without having to granulate or process a mix, making the overall manufacturing process more efficient.
