Main Application
M489705-01
65
0.25-0.37
Fine standard MCC grade, especially suited for wet granulation, roller compaction and spheronization. Very high compactibility.
M489705-02
130
0.25-0.37
Medium size standard MCC grade, suited for the majority of directly compressible actives. Combines good flow and high compactibility.
M489705-03
130
0.25-0.37(very low moisture content ＜1.5%)
Same quality to grades 102/90M, but very low moisture content (< 1.5 %) for processing water-sensitive actives.
M489705-04
130
0.38-0.50
Same quality to grade 102/90M, but increased bulk density and improved flow properties. Especially suited for high speed tableting and processing high density actives.
M489705-05
170/175
0.25-0.37
Coarse, DC-grade MCC.
M489705-06
220
0.20-0.37
Coarse grade MCC, combines good compactibility and high binding capacity with outstanding flow. Provides good content uniformity at low weight variation – even when used with low concentrations of fine actives.
