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.

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-301 has a typical average particle size of 50 µm with a high bulk density of approximately 0.4 g/cc, compared to 0.3 g/cc for most other Avicel® grades. Avicel® PH-301 is primarily used for high shear wet granulation and direct compression. The high bulk density provides increased flowability resulting in improved blending characteristics and tablet uniformity. The high density also helps improve consistency and throughput of the capsule filling process.

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.

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.

Avicel® PH microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is most often used as a filler, disintegrant, flow aid, and dry binder for tablets and capsules. Avicel® PH-200 has a typical average particle size of 200 µm and moisture content between 3 and 5%. Avicel® PH-200 is primarily used for direct compression, and dry granulation/roller compaction. Larger particle size of Avicel® PH-200 provides enhanced 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.

Accelerate® DS - 813 is available in various dosage forms, including capsules, granules, and orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs). Manufactured using wet granulation technology, it serves as a disintegrant in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations. It is supplied in powder form for ease of processing and formulation.

Ac-Di-Sol® SDW - 802 is a versatile ingredient suitable for capsules, granules, and orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs). Employing wet granulation, it serves as a disintegrant and immediate release agent in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations.

Avicel® PH-105 has a typical average particle size of 20 µm and moisture content of not more than 5%. Avicel® PH-105 is primarily used in small amounts (5-10%) with other Avicel® MCC grades, like Avicel® PH-102 and PH -101, to boost tensile strength of a tablet. Avicel® PH-105 has smallest particle size thus increasing cellulose surface area for hydrogen bonding resulting in most compactable of the Avicel® PH products.
