Microcrystalline Cellulose PH-301 (MCC PH-301)
Microcrystalline Cellulose PH-301 is a pharmaceutical-grade excipient characterized by its relatively high bulk density and fine particle size. It supports compact powder handling and tablet formulation, making it suitable for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications where density and compression performance are important.
Product Details
Microcrystalline Cellulose PH-301 (MCC PH-301) is a high-density grade of microcrystalline cellulose developed for pharmaceutical formulations requiring efficient powder handling and reliable tablet formation.
Its relatively high bulk density allows more material to occupy a given volume compared with lower-density MCC grades. It can be used as a diluent and binder in tablet formulations, with grade selection depending on formulation composition and processing requirements.
PH-301 is suitable for evaluating in formulations where powder density, tablet size, and compression performance are important considerations.
Applications
Pharmaceutical
- Direct-compression tablets
- High-density tablet formulations
- Low-dose tablet formulations
- Oral solid dosage formulations
Nutraceutical
- Dietary supplement tablets
- Vitamin and mineral tablets
- Nutritional supplement formulations
- Functional nutrition products
Food & Other Applications
- Powdered formulations
- Dry-mix products
- Functional food formulations
Key Benefits
High Bulk Density
Its relatively high bulk density helps reduce powder volume per unit mass compared with lower-density MCC grades.
Compact Powder Handling
Higher bulk density supports efficient material handling and formulation development where powder volume is an important consideration.
Reliable Tablet Formation
Functions as a binder and diluent to support tablet formation and mechanical integrity in suitable formulations.
Formulation Flexibility
Can be evaluated in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations according to density, compression, and processing requirements.
