• Moisture Content: ≤5.0%​

• Bulk Density: 0.26 - 0.31g/ml​

2. Product Features​

2.1 Good Flowability​

Compared with Microcrystalline Cellulose 101, Microcrystalline Cellulose 102 has a larger particle size, which improves its flowability. This allows the material to be more evenly distributed during processes such as tableting, reducing weight variation.​

2.2 Excellent Compressibility​

There are hydrogen bonds between its molecules. When under pressure, the hydrogen bonds associate, endowing it with a high degree of compressibility. This enables tablets to obtain good hardness and formability, contributing to increased production efficiency and product quality.​

2.3 Strong Water Absorption and Disintegration​

It has porosity and a large pore volume, with good water storage performance. It can quickly allow water to enter the interior of the tablet, promoting rapid tablet disintegration, which is beneficial for the dissolution and absorption of drugs.​

3. Main Applications​

3.1 Pharmaceutical Field​

It is commonly used as a disintegrant, filler, and binder in tablets. It can enhance the solubility and bioavailability of drugs and is also suitable for solid preparations such as capsules and granules. It can also be used in sprays, helping to improve the administrability of drugs and patient compliance.​

3.2 Food Field​

As a thickener, suspending agent, and stabilizer, it is widely used in products such as beverages, dairy products, ice cream, and pastries. It can effectively improve the texture and stability of products and enhance the taste.​

3.3 Cosmetics Field​

It can serve as a thickener, suspending agent, and anti - sediment agent, helping cosmetics maintain a uniform texture and prevent layering or sedimentation. In skin - care products, it can act as an oil - absorbing agent to improve the refreshing feeling of the skin. In oral care products, it can enhance adhesion and durability.​

4. Applicable Processes​

It is suitable for various pharmaceutical processes such as wet granulation, dry granulation, extrusion - spheronization, and direct compression processes, especially for most direct - compression drugs, being able to well adapt to different production requirements.​

5. Quality Standards​

It is usually produced under an international - level GMP system. Its basic quality indicators meet relevant standards such as EP (European Pharmacopoeia), USP (United States Pharmacopoeia), and Chinese Pharmacopoeia, ensuring product quality.​

6. Packaging Specifications​

Common packaging specifications are 25kg/bag, and there are also small - package specifications such as 1kg, which is convenient for users with different needs.​
