Pharmaceutical Excipients

Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC 102)

Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) is a high-purity pharmaceutical excipient derived from wood pulp. $\text{MCC 102}$ is the most common grade after $\text{MCC 101}$, primarily used as a Diluent (Filler) and Dry Binder in tablet and capsule manufacturing. It is characterized by a larger particle size (approx. 90-100 $\mu \text{m}$) compared to $\text{MCC 101}$, which provides Improved Flowability, making it ideal for the Direct Compression process, especially in high-speed production lines.

The product conforms to the specified requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (EP), and/or British Pharmacopoeia (BP).
A detailed CoA is issued with every batch, outlining potency, purity profile, and microbiological testing verification.
A comprehensive Drug Master File is available to support registration submissions to regulatory authorities worldwide.
Production takes place in certified facilities that strictly adhere to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP).
Functional Class:
Diluent (Filler), Binder, Flow Enhancer.
Chemical Structure:
Pure cellulose $\text{C}_6\text{H}_{10}\text{O}_5)_n$.
Mechanism of Action:
As a Binder : Provides high tablet hardness through mechanical interlocking and plastic deformation.
As a Flow Enhancer (102) : The larger particle size reduces the relative surface area and increases the bulk density, which significantly improves powder flow in the hopper.
Optimal Use (102):
Ideal for high-speed Direct Compression on fast machinery where flow requirements are critical.
High-Speed Direct Compression

Tablets requiring smooth, consistent powder feed.

Excellent flowability to ensure accurate tablet weight and reduce dose variation.

Hard Capsules

Powder filling into capsules.

Guarantees smooth powder flow through the filling hopper for efficient dosing.

Formulations with Poor Properties

Improving the flowability of blends containing APIs with poor flow characteristics.

Acts as an absorbent and flow enhancer in blends prone to weight variation or capping.

Regulatory Compliance

The product fully complies with the requirements specified in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), the European Pharmacopoeia (EP), and/or other relevant standards.

Particle Size Distribution (PSD)

Strict control over the particle size (approx. 90-100 $\mu \text{m}$) to ensure consistent flow performance.

Viscosity and Moisture Content

Accurate determination of viscosity and moisture content to ensure stable compressibility.

Manufacturing Operations

Production is conducted in a rigorous cGMP environment, ensuring consistency in physical properties.
