Microcrystalline Cellulose 102
Microcrystalline Cellulose PH-102 (MCC PH-102) is a pharmaceutical-grade excipient with good flowability and compressibility, making it particularly suitable for direct compression applications. Its balanced particle size and powder flow characteristics support efficient processing and consistent tablet production.
Product Details
Microcrystalline Cellulose PH-102 (MCC PH-101) is a pharmaceutical-grade cellulose excipient designed to provide a balanced combination of flowability, compressibility, and binding performance. Compared with finer-particle MCC grades, PH-102 offers improved powder flow, making it particularly suitable for direct compression applications.
MCC PH-102 has a controlled particle size distribution that supports smooth powder handling and consistent die filling during tablet manufacturing. Its good compressibility and binding properties help produce tablets with reliable mechanical strength and good structural integrity.
Due to its balanced flow and compression characteristics, MCC PH-102 is widely used in pharmaceutical tablets, dietary supplements, and other oral solid dosage formulations. It can function as a diluent and binder, and is especially suitable for formulations where efficient powder flow and direct compression performance are important.
