Microcrystalline Cellulose is purified, partially depolymerized cellulose prepared by treating alpha cellulose obtained as a pulp from fibrous plant material with mineral acids. Several grades of Avicel® PH MCC are available varying in particle size distribution, density and moisture content. Avicel® PH microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is most often used as a compression Aid, filler, flow aid, and dry binder for tablets and capsules. Avicel® PH-101 has a typical average particle size of 50 µm and moisture content between 3 and 5%. Avicel® PH-101 is primarily used for wet granulation, extrusion spherization and tablet compression. Avicel® PH MCC rapidly absorbs aqueous binder solution permitting faster addition of fluid as well as shorter wet massing time. At the same time, the water does not become bound water resulting in faster drying time and uniform granular properties.

It is applied in manufacturing technologies such as tablet coating, granulation, and wet granulation. METHOCEL™ Specialty 228S HPMC functions as a controlled release agent, immediate release agent, thickener, solubilizer, viscosity modifier, binder, film former, gelling agent, and mucoadhesive. It is water-soluble, making it an excellent choice for a range of applications.

METHOCEL™ K15M Modified Cellulose Food Grade - Specialty known for its water solubility, is widely employed in granulation and tablet coating processes. Additionally, it serves as a controlled release agent and film former in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.

Avicel® SMCC - 90 composed of microcrystalline cellulose, is utilized in various manufacturing technologies, including direct compression, dry granulation, and wet granulation. It serves as both a filler and an immediate release agent in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.

Ac-Di-Sol® Croscarmellose Sodium is an internally cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose. It is the super disintegrant of choice for many immediate release formulations. Ac-Di-Sol® is an insoluble and hydrophilic polymer with excellent water uptake and rapid swelling properties; supporting faster disintegration and drug dissolution at lower use levels (2-3%). Ac-Di-Sol® can be used in all manufacturing processes, including higher shear wet granulation, fluid bed granulation, direct compression, and dry granulation. Besides its disintegrating properties, Ac-Di-Sol® Croscarmellose Sodium has good binding and compaction properties.

METHOCEL™ E4M Premium CR HPMC is water-soluble and used in suspensions, granulation, and tablet coating. It serves as a binder, controlled release agent, film former, gelling agent, and immediate release agent in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, and as a binder in ceramics.

METHOCEL™ A15C Methylcellulose - Specialty is a versatile ingredient used in various pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. It serves as an immediate release agent, thickener, solubilizer, viscosity modifier, binder, film former, gelling agent, and mucoadhesive. Suitable for dosage forms like suspensions, tablets, and capsules, it is also used in manufacturing technologies such as tablet coating and granulation. Additionally, it finds applications in the plastics and elastomers industry, particularly in food containers and food packaging. METHOCEL™ Specialty A15C Methylcellulose is water-soluble, enhancing its effectiveness in multiple formulations.

Microcrystalline Cellulose is purified, partially depolymerized cellulose prepared by treating alpha cellulose obtained as a pulp from fibrous plant material with mineral acids. Several grades of Avicel® PH MCC are available varying in particle size distribution, density and moisture content. Avicel® PH microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is most often used as a filler, disintegrant, flow aid, and dry binder for tablets and capsules. Avicel® PH-112 has a typical average particle size of 100 µm and lower moisture content of not more than 1.2%. Avicel® PH-112 is primarily used for direct compression, and dry granulation/roller compaction for moisture sensitive Active Ingredients (APIs). The particle size of Avicel® PH-112 provides good flow characteristics. When compressed, Avicel® PH MCC undergoes plastic deformation. The strength of MCC tablets results from hydrogen bonding between the plastically deformed, large surface area cellulose particles. MCC is recognized as the most compactable of any direct compression excipient.

METHOCEL™ 10-0352 Cellulose Ether - Specialty is a versatile excipient used in pharmaceutical applications. It functions as a controlled release agent, immediate release agent, thickener, solubilizer, viscosity modifier, binder, film former, gelling agent, and mucoadhesive. Suitable for use in tablets, capsules, and suspensions, it is also effective in tablet coating, granulation, and wet granulation processes. This water-soluble cellulose ether offers benefits such as zero calorie content and low odor.

METHOCEL™ Cellulose Ethers are water-soluble polymers derived from cellulose. The METHOCEL™ product range encompasses methylcellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (hypromellose) – each available in different grades. They enable formulators to create reliable tablet coatings, granulation, controlled release matrix formulations and controlled viscosity in liquid formulations. METHOCEL™ K100M Premium HPMC, high molecular weight grade is preferred choice of excipient for Controlled release application.
