Main Applications of Microcrystalline Cellulose

Microcrystalline cellulose is widely used in manufacturing, mainly used as a diluent and binder in oral tablets and capsules, not only for wet granulation, but also for dry direct tablet compression, with certain lubricating and disintegrating effects.

Microcrystalline cellulose 101, suitable for all tablet making methods, especially suitable for wet granulation, rotary tableting and tablet making, with good compressibility.

Microcrystalline cellulose 102, large particle size, suitable for direct compression tableting, with good fluidity and compressibility.
