Silicified Microcrystalline Cellulose
Our Silicified Microcrystalline Cellulose (SMCC) is a co-processed excipient combining microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) with colloidal silicon dioxide (CSD). This unique blend significantly enhances powder flowability, compaction, and binding properties, making it ideal for direct compression and wet granulation in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. It addresses common formulation challenges, leading to more robust and efficient tablet manufacturing.
- Leverage the enhanced flowability of silicified MCC to ensure smooth processing in your pharmaceutical formulations.
- Achieve superior tabletability with our SMCC, leading to improved tablet hardness and reduced capping, essential for reliable drug delivery.
- Benefit from the strong binding properties of silicified MCC, ensuring tablet cohesion and stability for extended shelf life.
- Utilize this versatile excipient for direct compression, simplifying your manufacturing process and reducing the need for granulation steps.
Key Advantages
