Microcrystalline cellulose is a purified, partially depolymerized cellulose used extensively as a filler, dry binder, and disintegrant in tablets and capsules.
It offers outstanding compressibility, enabling robust tablets via direct compression without wet granulation.
MCC provides good flow, uniform blending, and consistent tablet hardness and friability, and can aid disintegration through wicking action.
It is chemically inert, non-reactive with most APIs, and widely accepted in pharmacopeias worldwide.
Various grades (Avicel PH101, PH102, etc.) allow fine-tuning of flow and compaction behavior for different manufacturing processes.
