Microcrystalline Cellulose Used For Tablets

Microcrystalline cellulose for tablets are pure white or off white fine powders obtained by special processing of natural cellulose. It has excellent physical properties, including good particle size distribution to ensure uniform formulation, low density for easy mixing, strong moisture absorption to promote wetting and granulation, and high compressibility to ensure tablet hardness and stability. In terms of chemical properties, it is stable and reliable, insoluble in water and various organic solvents, but partially soluble under dilute alkaline conditions. As an excellent disintegrant, it can ensure rapid disintegration and release of drugs in the body. Microcrystalline cellulose for tablets are pure and free of impurities, with good compatibility with active pharmaceutical ingredients, making them an ideal choice for improving tablet quality and ensuring drug efficacy.

With the rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry, especially the continuous growth of the solid oral preparation market, the demand for microcrystalline cellulose as an important pharmaceutical excipient is steadily increasing. The continuous expansion of diversified application fields such as food, health products, and cosmetics has further promoted the prosperity of the microcrystalline cellulose market. Against the backdrop of increasing consumer demands for product quality, safety, and health, microcrystalline cellulose has become the preferred high-quality excipient in many industries due to its natural, non-toxic, biodegradable properties, as well as excellent physical and chemical stability.

As a professional cellulose factory,we select high-quality natural cellulose raw materials that undergo strict purification treatment to remove impurities, and then obtain microcrystalline cellulose powder with uniform particle size and loose structure through precise mechanical crushing and grading technology. By using special chemical or physical modification processes, its flowability, compressibility, and disintegrability are further enhanced while maintaining its natural non-toxic and odorless properties. Throughout the entire production process, we implement strict quality control, including raw material inspection, intermediate product monitoring, and finished product testing, to ensure that each batch of microcrystalline cellulose for tablets meets high quality requirements.

Ensure a dry and ventilated storage environment to avoid moisture affecting product quality; Adjust the dosage according to specific application scenarios, as excessive dosage may affect the formability or disintegrability of the product; It needs to be thoroughly mixed with other excipients to ensure the uniformity of tablet quality; During the processing, attention should be paid to controlling temperature and pressure to prevent high temperature or high pressure from damaging the structure of microcrystalline cellulose and affecting its properties.

Characteristics

  • Excellent Flowability: Our tablet microcrystalline cellulose has excellent flowability, thanks to its fine particle size control and porous particle structure of cellulose. Good fluidity ensures the uniform distribution of drug particles during the formulation process, improves the weight difference and content uniformity of tablets, thereby ensuring the consistency of drug efficacy.
  • High Compressibility: Microcrystalline cellulose molecules have hydrogen bonds between them, which rapidly bind under pressure, giving them a high degree of compressibility. This means that in the direct compression process, it can easily form tight and hard tablets without the need for additional adhesives or lubricants, reducing production costs while improving tablet stability and durability.
  • Strong Hygroscopicity And Disintegration: Microcrystalline cellulose for tablets have strong hygroscopicity and can quickly absorb moisture from the surrounding environment. This characteristic is particularly important in the wet granulation process, as it helps improve the wettability of the material and promote the uniformity of granulation. At the same time, when the tablet encounters body fluids, microcrystalline cellulose can quickly absorb water and expand, breaking the structure of the tablet, causing the drug to quickly disintegrate and release the active ingredient, ensuring the rapid absorption and efficacy of the drug.
  • Stable Chemical Properties: Our tablet microcrystalline cellulose has extremely high stability at room temperature and pressure, and is not prone to chemical reactions with active pharmaceutical ingredients. This ensures the stability and effectiveness of the drug during formulation, storage, and transportation, reducing the risk of drug degradation or deterioration.
  • Wide Applicability: Due to the many advantages mentioned above, microcrystalline cellulose for tablets have a wide range of applicability in pharmaceutical formulations. Whether it is regular tablets, sustained-release tablets, or controlled release tablets, microcrystalline cellulose can be used as an ideal excipient to meet the needs of different types of drug formulations.
  • Pharmaceutical Industry
  • In the pharmaceutical field, microcrystalline cellulose for tablets are indispensable and important excipients. As a diluent, adhesive, and disintegrant, it can significantly improve the formability, stability, and bioavailability of drugs. Whether it is regular tablets, sustained-release tablets, or controlled release tablets, microcrystalline cellulose can provide excellent physical properties and chemical stability, ensuring consistency and reliability of drug efficacy.
  • Food Industry
  • In the food industry, tablet microcrystalline cellulose is widely used in functional cellulose, health foods, and nutritional supplements. As a thickener, stabilizer, and source of dietary fiber, it can enhance the taste of food, extend shelf life, and promote intestinal health. The natural source and safety of microcrystalline cellulose make it a trusted additive in the food industry.
