Microcrystalline Cellulose 101

Microcrystalline Cellulose 101 is a purified, partially depolymerized cellulose excipient with a fine, uniform particle size. As the classic fine-grade MCC, it offers the highest binding and dilution capacity of the MCC family, carrying large proportions of active ingredients while still producing hard, stable tablets. The fine particles pack tightly and bond strongly under compression, and their hydrophilic nature wicks water into the tablet core for reliable disintegration and drug release. Derived from plant alpha-cellulose, it is chemically inert, widely accepted and well tolerated across pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets. Compliant with USP requirements and produced under strict microbial limits, it delivers consistent performance with a two-year shelf life for wet granulation, dry blending and direct compression. It is packed in 20 kg kraft bags with a two-year shelf life. Its fine particle size also gives tablets a smooth, uniform surface finish after compression. In practice it carries high drug loads while keeping tablets hard and stable, and its fine particle size smooths tablet surfaces for coating. It is equally effective in wet granulation where strong binder power is needed. Batch records and test reports are available for every delivery, supporting buyer qualification, regulatory filing and long-term supply relationships. How MCC 101 works: as the fine-particle grade of the MCC family, 101 offers the strongest binding power per gram and the highest dilution capacity, carrying large proportions of active ingredient while still forming hard, stable tablets. The fine particles pack tightly and bond strongly under compression, and their hydrophilic nature draws water into the core for reliable disintegration. Practical guidance: use it in wet granulation where its fine particles give strong inter-particle bonding; direct-compress high-dose products where dilution capacity matters; fill capsules with its dense, uniform powder; and apply it in low-dose products where content uniformity is critical. Quality assurance: produced under USP requirements with particle size, pH, conductivity and microbial limits tested per batch, documented for regulatory files. Packed in 20 kg kraft bags with a two-year shelf life. For pharmaceutical manufacturers, MCC 101 is the trusted standard that has carried countless products from development to market. Specification highlights: it is packed in 20kg/bag with a minimum order quantity of 1000kg. Certificates of analysis accompany every shipment, and sample supply, specification customization and flexible payment terms are available for qualified buyers, supported by the standardized seven-step service process from inquiry to after-sales support. Compliance and quality at a glance: the product is manufactured under the standards referenced in its specification sheet, and every batch is tested for identity, purity, heavy metals and microbiology before release. Batch records, test reports and certificates are kept and supplied for buyer qualification, audit and regulatory filing, and the product is stored and shipped in its original packaging to preserve quality through the supply chain. For industrial buyers, this documented quality system means one qualification covers years of consistent supply, with the specification sheet serving as the contractual reference for every delivery.

Applications:

It is used as a binder and diluent in wet-granulated pharmaceutical tablets, where its fine particles give strong inter-particle bonding. Direct-compression and capsule formulations use it for high dilution capacity and dose uniformity. Nutraceutical makers use it in vitamin tablets and herbal extract products, and it serves as a filler in sachets and powder blends for clinical and consumer nutrition.

Advantages

The fine 101 grade maximizes binding power per gram, so formulators can load more active and less excipient, shrinking tablets and cutting material cost. Its consistent fine particle distribution supports excellent content uniformity, essential for low-dose, high-potency drugs. USP compliance, strict microbial controls and a two-year shelf life make it a trusted, versatile excipient for both granulated and directly compressed products.
