Microcrystalline Cellulose PH-302 (MCC PH-302)
Microcrystalline Cellulose PH-302 is a pharmaceutical-grade excipient characterized by its relatively high bulk density and good powder flowability. Its particle properties 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-302 is a high-density grade of microcrystalline cellulose designed for pharmaceutical formulations requiring efficient powder handling and reliable tablet formation.
Compared with PH-301, PH-302 generally features a larger average particle size while maintaining a relatively high bulk density. These characteristics make it suitable for formulations where powder flow, die filling, and tablet manufacturing efficiency are important considerations.
PH-302 functions as a diluent and binder in oral solid dosage formulations. Its suitability should be evaluated according to formulation composition, compression conditions, and the product’s technical specifications.
Applications
Pharmaceutical
- Direct-compression tablets
- High-dose tablet formulations
- Oral solid dosage formulations
- Hard capsule formulations
Nutraceutical
- Dietary supplement tablets
- High-dose supplement formulations
- Vitamin and mineral tablets
- 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 improve powder packing efficiency and reduce powder volume per unit mass.
Good Powder Flow
Supports efficient powder handling and consistent die filling during tablet manufacturing.
Direct Compression Suitability
Suitable for direct-compression formulations where powder flow and manufacturing efficiency are important.
Reliable Tablet Formation
Functions as a binder and diluent to support tablet formation in appropriately designed formulations.
