Contact SupplierSANCEL ® Microcrystalline cellulose is widely used in pharmaceuticals, primarily as a binder/diluent in oral tablet and capsule formulations where it is used in both wet-granulation and direct-compression processes. In addition to its use as a binder/diluent, SANCEL ®  Microcrystalline Cellulose also has some lubricant and disintegrant properties that make it useful in tableting.
SANCEL ® Microcrystalline Cellulose is purified, partly depolymerized cellulose with shorter, crystalline polymer chains. Its strong binding performance makes SANCEL ® MCC one of the most commonly used fillers and binders in drug formulations across the world.
SANCEL ® Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder is a white fine powder free from all foreign matter. The supplies are made normally in 25Kgs, laminated HDPE bag with liner. The material has a shelf life of five year. The packing can be done as per customer’s requirement as well.
