Microcrystalline Cellulose PH-112
Microcrystalline Cellulose PH-112 (MCC PH-112) is a low-moisture pharmaceutical excipient with a typical median particle size of approximately 100 μm. It offers good compressibility and is suitable for moisture-sensitive formulations, direct compression tablets, and other oral solid dosage forms.
Product Details
Microcrystalline Cellulose PH-112 (MCC PH-112) is a low-moisture grade of microcrystalline cellulose designed for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations where moisture control is important. Its low moisture content helps support the processing of moisture-sensitive ingredients.
With a particle size profile similar to standard MCC PH-102 grades, MCC PH-112 provides useful compressibility and binding properties for tablet production. It can function as a filler, diluent, and binder in suitable solid dosage formulations.
MCC PH-112 is suitable for evaluating in direct compression, dry blending, and other appropriate manufacturing processes. Final grade selection should be based on formulation requirements, processing conditions, and the product’s technical specifications.
