Microcrystalline Cellulose PH-200
Microcrystalline Cellulose PH-200 is a pharmaceutical-grade excipient featuring a coarse particle size and good powder flowability. Its particle characteristics support efficient powder handling and consistent die filling, making it suitable for direct compression and other oral solid dosage formulations.
Product Details
Microcrystalline Cellulose PH-200 is designed for pharmaceutical formulations that require good powder flow and reliable tablet manufacturing performance. Its relatively large particle size helps facilitate powder handling and die filling during compression.
PH-200 is commonly used as a diluent, binder, and compression aid in tablet formulations. It can be considered for direct compression processes where powder flow and manufacturing efficiency are important.
The final performance of PH-200 depends on its particle size distribution, moisture content, bulk density, formulation composition, and processing conditions.
