Description
Microcrystalline Cellulose 102 is a purified, partially depolymerized cellulose excipient produced from high-quality alpha-cellulose. Flash drying gives this grade its characteristically open, porous particle structure, which delivers the combination of compressibility and flowability that direct-compression tableting demands. As a binder-diluent, MCC 102 creates hard, low-friability tablets at moderate compression forces while acting as a wicking disintegrant that helps tablets break apart in the stomach. Its plant origin makes it a clean, inert and well-tolerated excipient suitable for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and food applications. Compliant with USP requirements and produced with strict microbial controls, it is the workhorse of direct-compression formulation with a two-year shelf life. It is packed in 20 kg kraft bags with a two-year shelf life. The flash-dried structure also wicks water quickly, helping tablets disintegrate promptly after swallowing. In practice it direct-compresses with only a lubricant added, so simple formulations reach production in fewer development steps. Its rapid wicking also helps fast-disintegrating tablets hit their dissolution targets. Every batch is released against a full quality panel covering appearance, purity, heavy metals and microbiology, so each shipment arrives with documented conformity and traceable batch records. How MCC 102 works: microcrystalline cellulose is purified, partially depolymerized alpha-cellulose, and the flash-drying process creates the open, porous particles that give this grade its dual talent: compressibility and flowability. Under compression the porous particles deform and bond into strong tablets, while the same porosity wicks water into the tablet core, driving rapid disintegration in the stomach. Practical guidance: direct-compress with a lubricant only for simple, robust tablets; use it as the diluent of choice for high-potency drugs where stability matters; combine it with a disintegrant when faster release is needed; and apply it in nutraceutical tablets and chewables. Quality assurance: produced under USP requirements with particle size, pH, conductivity, ether-soluble matter and microbial limits tested per batch, documented for regulatory files. Packed in 20 kg kraft bags with a two-year shelf life. For formulators, MCC 102 is the shortest path from powder blend to production tablet. 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. Documented quality from batch to batch: every production lot is verified against the full specification - identity, purity, heavy metals and microbiology - before release, and the resulting certificates and batch records travel with each shipment to support qualification and audit. Raw materials are sourced to defined standards, storage follows the conditions stated in the specification, and the product ships in its original, intact packaging. Shelf life and storage requirements are clearly documented, so purchasing, warehouse and quality teams all work from the same reference. This repeatable quality system is what makes the grade dependable for multi-year supply agreements.
Applications
It is used as the primary diluent and binder in direct-compression pharmaceutical tablets, from small high-potency drugs to large chewable and swallowable formats. Nutraceutical manufacturers use it in vitamin and mineral tablets, and in capsule filling as a free-flowing filler. It serves as a disintegrant aid in wet-granulated products, and food applications use it in compressed candies and supplement chewables.
Advantages
Flash-dried MCC 102 offers the rare combination of excellent compactibility with adequate flow, letting formulators direct-compress simple, robust tablets without granulation steps - saving time, energy and equipment cost. Its consistent particle structure and batch-to-batch behavior protect process validation across long production campaigns. USP compliance, strict microbial controls and a two-year shelf life make it a dependable backbone excipient for tableting programs.
