M101LD
Introduction to M101LD
M101LD is a highly compactible excipient. It is manufactured in tight standards, particularly during the hydrolysis step to achieve the narrow parameters. The rigorous process would decrease the bulk density and reach specific particle form in the final Microcrystalline Cellulose powder.
These characteristics impart outstanding compactibility and provide greater tablet hardness.
The key to the outstanding compactibility of M101LD lies in their needle-like particle shape. The unique shape results in lower elastic recovery and more particle-to-particle entanglements that provide superior performance in tablet hardness.
Because of the high compactibility, M101LD has higher dilution potential, which allows us to use less MCC in formulation to downsize tablets, or increase drug loading and meanwhile achieving the same hardness under the same compression force. It is also suitable for Orally Disintegrating Tablet (ODT) and Multi Unit Particulate System (MUPS).
The unique M101LD grade displays equivalent or even better performance compared with other low density MCC grades in the market.
