FAQ's of microcrystalline cellulose powder:
Q: How is microcrystalline cellulose powder typically used in pharmaceutical formulations?
A: Microcrystalline cellulose powder acts as a binder, disintegrant, and thickener in tablet and capsule manufacturing. Its high compressibility and swelling properties ensure tablets form consistently and disintegrate efficiently, aiding bioavailability.
Q: What are the storage conditions recommended for microcrystalline cellulose powder?
A: It should be stored in a cool, dry place with its packaging tightly sealed to maintain quality and prolong shelf life, which ranges from three to five years under proper conditions.
Q: When is microcrystalline cellulose beneficial in tablet production?
A: Microcrystalline cellulose is particularly useful when high tablet strength and rapid disintegration are required, improving formulation performance and dosage reliability.
Q: Where is this product commonly distributed and supplied?
A: Microcrystalline cellulose powder is widely distributed by pharmaceutical manufacturers, exporters, suppliers, and traders for use in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries worldwide.
Q: What makes microcrystalline cellulose powder a safe choice for sensitive applications?
A: Its pharmaceutical-grade purity, allergen-free and gluten-free nature, low microbial and heavy metal limits, as well as its non-poisonous and tasteless profile, make it suitable for sensitive medical, dietary, and cosmetic products.
Q: How does insolubility in water influence its usage?
A: Its insolubility in water and most organic solvents means it remains stable during processing, swelling to facilitate tablet disintegration without dissolving or altering formulation consistency.
