Pharmaceutical Excipients
Microcrystalline Cellulose
Versatile binder and filler for tablet and capsule formulations with excellent compressibility.
Product Overview
Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) is a purified, partially depolymerized cellulose derived from alpha-cellulose. It serves as a versatile excipient in pharmaceutical formulations, functioning as a binder, diluent, disintegrant and lubricant. Its excellent flow properties and compressibility make it ideal for direct compression tablet manufacturing.
