- 1. Superior Compressibility: Provides exceptional binding properties for direct compression tableting, resulting in tablets with high hardness and low friability.
- 2. Effective Disintegration: Acts as a disintegrant by facilitating rapid water uptake into the tablet matrix, leading to fast swelling and efficient drug release.
- 3. Flow Promotion: Its optimized particle size distribution improves the flowability of powder blends, ensuring weight uniformity during high-speed production.
- 4. High Carrying Capacity: Capable of absorbing large amounts of liquids or oils while remaining a free-flowing powder, ideal for oily active ingredients.
- 5. Non-Reactive Excipient: Highly stable and chemically inert, making it compatible with a wide range of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
Factory Supply Food Additive Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder MCC Powder
Product Description
Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) is a purified, partially depolymerized cellulose prepared by treating alpha-cellulose, obtained as a pulp from fibrous plant material, with mineral acids. It is a white, odorless, and tasteless crystalline powder that is highly prized in the pharmaceutical and food industries for its unique compressibility and carrying capacity. As a versatile excipient, MCC functions as a premier bulking agent, disintegrant, and anti-caking agent, ensuring the structural integrity and stability of solid dosage forms while maintaining excellent flowability during manufacturing.

Application
- 1. Pharmaceutical Tablets: The most widely used filler/binder for both direct compression and wet granulation in tablet manufacturing.
- 2. Hard Capsules: Used as a filler to ensure consistent capsule filling weights and to improve the stability of the active formula.
- 3. Dietary Supplements: Applied in nutraceuticals as a safe, fiber-based bulking agent for vitamins, minerals, and herbal extracts.
- 4. Food Industry: Functions as a stabilizer, texturizer, and fat replacer in low-calorie foods, dairy products, and processed meats.
- 5. Cosmetics & Personal Care: Utilized in creams, lotions, and powders as an absorbent and texturizing agent to provide a smooth, matte finish.
