Product Description

Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder 102 | Pharmaceutical Grade Binding Agent (Packaging May Vary)

Multi-Process Tablet Binder Powder: Binding agent for dry blends and roller compacted formulations. Insoluble in water, making it ideal for wet-granulation processes without gelling.
Solve Tablet Uniformity Issues: Minimal bulk density of 0.4g/cm3 and average particle size of 100 microns. MCC 102 features a large particle size distribution to enhance flowability and compressibility. Ensure uniform weights in capsule filling, dry granulation, and direct compression tablet production.
Versatile Excipient: Functions as a non-gelling binder, filler, and insoluble fiber source. Supports powder flow, structure, and texture in capsules, powders, and granules.
Food Safe MCC 102: Tasteless, non-caloric excipient. Inert, will not react with other ingredients. For stable pharmaceutical and food formulations. Vegetarian, halal,and kosher.
Made in the USA, Certified for Food Safety: LFA Excipients. Packaged in Fort Worth, Texas to cGMP standards for food safety. ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 22000:2018 facility. Third-party inspected by batch for quality assurance and full traceability. Halal and Kosher certified.

What exactly is the ideal excipient?

The one which helps make ingestion easier for customers and manufacturing simpler for producers. Not just an excipient which is permissible to use, but one that stretches beyond standard functionality. Microcrystalline cellulose may be the exact binding agent you are searching for. It won't gel like methyl-cellulose and if compared to other binding agents it appears to provide the optimal degree of brittleness whilst staying lubricant sensitive.

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.
