About Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder

Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder

Other Name : 2-(hydroxymethyl)-6-[4,5,6-trihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)oxan-3-yl]oxyoxane-3,4,5-triol
CAS Number : 9004-34-6
Molecular Formula : C12H22O11
Application : ACCEL-101 is most widely used for direct compression tableting and wet granulation. ACCEL-102 has similar compression properties to ACCEL-101. However, it has larger particle size and therefore, may be of value in improving the flow if fine powders. ACCEL-200 has a large particle size which offers increased flow ability with minimum effect on compression characteristics. It can be used in direct compression and wet granulation to reduce table weight variation and to improve content uniformity

Customizable Packaging with Extended Shelf Life

Available in 25 kg fiber drums or bags, with options for tailored packaging, the Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder ensures optimal storage conditions and a shelf life of 24 months. Properly stored in a cool, dry environment, the product maintains its integrity and performance throughout its lifecycle.

FAQs of Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder:

Q: How is Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder typically used in manufacturing processes?

A: Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder is primarily used as a binder, disintegrant, and filler in tablet and capsule manufacturing. It ensures tablets maintain their shape, break down properly for absorption, and provides uniformity in each dose. Its also used as a food additive and in cosmetics for texture and bulk.

Q: What are the main benefits of using this powder in tablet formulation?

A: The powders high compressibility and binding properties improve tablet robustness and disintegration, resulting in efficient drug release. Its purity, inertness, and low moisture help prevent instability or unwanted reactions with active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Q: When should Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder be added during the manufacturing process?

A: It is generally incorporated during the blending or granulation steps, alongside other excipients and active ingredients. This timing ensures even distribution, effective binding, and uniform tablet or capsule formation.

Q: Where is the product typically stored and how should it be handled?

A: The powder should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. It is packaged in 25 kg fiber drums or bags, and handling should ensure the container remains tightly closed to preserve quality.

Q: What makes this Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder suitable for allergen-free or specialty applications?

A: This product is allergen-free, gluten-free, and non-GMO, making it suitable for sensitive populations, specialized dietary needs, and clean-label products in both food and pharmaceutical industries.

Q: How does its sustainability contribute to greener manufacturing?

A: Derived from renewable plant sources and being biodegradable, the use of this powder supports eco-friendly manufacturing practices and reduces environmental impact compared to synthetic or non-renewable excipients.

Q: What are the quality control parameters for this product?

A: Quality is confirmed by stringent parameters: loss on drying (7%), heavy metals (<10 ppm), controlled particle size (50-200 microns), narrow pH range (5.0-7.5), and strict microbial limits (total plate count <1000 cfu/g, yeast & mold <100 cfu/g).
