Product Description

Microcrystalline Cellulose is partially depolymerized cellulose prepared by acid
hydrolysis of purified wood cellulose. It is designed primarily for pharmaceutical
solid dosage formulations. Its suitability for tableting operations is demonstrated
by the number and variety of functions. Among its many uses are binder, filler,
disintegrant, flow aid, lubricant and sugar coating additive. Comprecel®'s main
advantage is in the direct compression of tablets. Its high chemical purity and
physical properties improve on the conventional tableting process by simplifying
it into three steps: weighing, mixing, and compression.

Comprecel® Microcrystalline Cellulose is a fine, white, odorless, tasteless
crystalline powder. It consists of free-flowing, nonfibrous particles that are
relatively free from both organic and inorganic contaminants. It is insoluble in water,
organic solvents, and dilute acids, but partially soluble in dilute alkali.
