- Free flowing, ideal for wet granulation
- For Wet granulation, extrusion, spherization.
Cellulose-based excipients are widely used in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries due to their unique physiochemical properties. Microcrystalline cellulose is commonly used as a diluent or binder. Additionally, powdered cellulose serves as a bulking agent and can also be used as a binder, disintegrant, or lubricant.
These excipients offer several benefits, including bio-compatibility, ease of manufacturing, and costeffectiveness, making them a popular choice for a wide range of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations.
