Description
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a straight-chain polysaccharide linked by β-1,4-glucoside bonds. It consists of very fine, free-flowing, short rod-like or powdery porous particles obtained by hydrolyzing natural cellulose with dilute acid to a limit degree of polymerization. The product is a white, odorless, tasteless crystalline powder. Its specification is typically 99% purity, with an 80 mesh particle size. MCC is insoluble in water, dilute acids, dilute alkalis, and most organic solvents. Key technological properties include its use as an adsorbent, suspending agent, diluent, and disintegrant. It is widely applied in manufacturing for wet granulation and direct dry compression. For purchasers, it is important to pay attention to product purity, particle size (mesh), and compliance with international quality and safety standards, which ensure stability and functionality in final products.
Applications
Widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries as a filler, binder, stabilizer, and disintegrant.
