Key Advantages of SMCC
Superior Tablet Compression
SMCC offers enhanced tablet hardness and reduced friability, enabling higher production speeds and more durable tablets. This directly addresses challenges in achieving good tablet hardness and uniformity.
Exceptional Flowability
The integration of silicon dioxide dramatically improves powder flow compared to standard MCC, ensuring consistent tablet weight and dosage accuracy during manufacturing.
Optimized Disintegration
SMCC promotes more efficient tablet breakdown in the gastrointestinal tract, positively impacting drug bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy.
Key Applications
Tablet Formulation Enhancement
Utilize SMCC to improve the overall quality and performance of pharmaceutical tablets, from direct compression to wet granulation processes.
Nutraceutical Product Development
Leverage SMCC's capabilities for developing stable and effective nutraceutical tablets, ensuring precise dosing and enhanced stability.
Low-Dose Formulations
SMCC is particularly effective in low-dose formulations where precise content uniformity and excellent flow are paramount.
Improved Manufacturing Efficiency
Benefit from SMCC's properties that reduce processing issues like sticking and clumping, leading to smoother and more efficient manufacturing runs.
