Product Description
Silicified Microcrystalline Cellulose
Silicified Microcrystalline Cellulose USP
Solution for Optimum Compatibility
Silicification of MCC increased physical properties such as true density, Hausner ratio, porosity, ejection force and specific surface area. Other properties such as bulk and tap densities were reduced due to the amorphous and light character of fumed silica.
Superior Tablet Binder and DisintegrantSilicified Microcrystalline Cellulose enhances tablet strength while promoting rapid disintegration, ensuring fast and efficient drug release. Its high compressibility enables robust tablet formation even with minimal active ingredient concentrations. This excipient is especially valuable in direct compression and high-speed tablet production environments, where consistency and quality are critical.
Manufactured for Quality and ComplianceProduced under stringent GMP guidelines, this excipient meets USP, EP, and JP quality standards. Passes all pharmacopeia-required identification, microbial, and residue tests, guaranteeing product safety and consistency. Its long shelf life and stable physical properties make it reliable for both large-scale manufacturers and suppliers focused on global distribution.
FAQ's of Silicified Microcrystalline Cellulose:
Q: How does Silicified Microcrystalline Cellulose benefit pharmaceutical tablet formulation?
