SPRAY DRIED Micro Crystalline Cellulose Powder

Amster microcell Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder is a very pure form of spray dried Cellulose Powder, which is relatively free from both organic and inorganic contaminants. Amster microcell MCCP is free flowing powder and has excellent water absorptive, swelling and dispersion properties. Thus, it differs from the normal Alpha Cellulose. Amster microcell Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder is white, free flowing, fine Powder. It is Insoluble in water, dilute acid, common organic solvents and oils. It is partially soluble, with some swelling, in dilute alkali. It is Metabolically Inert and has tremendous internal surface and absorptive properties. Its dispersion in water is a white, smooth, opaque gel with thixotropic and other functional properties, which makes it suitable for many applications in a variety of industries.

Grade Usage
AMCELL-101 AMCELL-101 is most widely used for direct compression tableting and wet granulation.
AMCELL-102 AMCELL-102 has similar compression properties to AMCELL-101. However, it has larger particle size and therefore, may be of value in improving the flow if fine powders.
AMCELL-12 AMCELL-12 has larger particle size and therefore, value in improving the flow property.
AMCELL-103 AMCELL-112 AMCELL-113 AMCELL-200 LM AMCELL-14 AMCELL-103, AMCELL-112, AMCELL-113,AMCELL-200 LM and AMCELL-14 have reduced moisture content and are ideal for use with moisture sensitive materials.
AMCELL-105 AMCELL-105 has the finest particle size and may be used in direct compressing of coarser, granular and crystalline materials. AMCELL-105's enhanced compressibility characteristics make it ideally suitable for application involving difficult to compress materials. It can be admixed with AMCELL-101 or AMCELL-102 to achieve specific flow and/or compression properties.
AMCELL-200 AMCELL-200 has a large particle size which offers increased flow ability with minimum effect on compression characteristics. It can be used in direct compression and wet granulation to reduce table weight variation and to improve content uniformity.
AMCELL-250 AMCELL-250 has a large particle size than AMCELL 200 which offers increased flow ability with minimum effect on compression characteristics than AMCELL 250.
AMCELL-301 AMCELL-301 has a higher density then its size equivalent, AMCELL-101, providing increased flow ability, greater tablet weight uniformity and the potential for making smaller tablets.
AMCELL-302 AMCELL-302 has the density characteristics of AMCELL-301 with a particle size of AMCELL-102. Like AMCELL-301, AMCELL-302 offers increased flow ability, greater tablet weight uniformity and the potential for smaller tablets.
