Vivion MCC 101 Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder 5 kg | Tablet, Food & Cosmetic Grade

Overview

Vivion Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder Type 101 is a fine, versatile excipient designed for pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic formulations. With smaller particles than MCC 102, MCC 101 offers handling advantages and a broad range of compatible uses throughout product development.

In tablet and capsule manufacture, the finer MCC 101 can support consistent blending and smoother processing steps such as wet granulation, roller compaction and spheronisation, helping to achieve reliable compression without altering the base formulation.

Pharmaceutical grade excipient for tablet and capsule manufacturing

Small particle size promotes uniform distribution and can contribute to improved absorbency in mixtures, while remaining neutral to many formulation components. This makes MCC 101 a flexible option for mid scale operations.

• Fine particle size supports wet granulation and spheronisation
• Suitable for roller compaction and tablet formation
• Packaged in 5 kg 11 lb lots; raw material requiring processing prior to direct consumption

Multifunctional food additive

As a bulking agent and texturizer, MCC 101 helps define volume and mouthfeel in processed foods. It can function as an extender or texturizing component in culinary experiments and molecular gastronomy, and can act as an inert anticaking flow aid.
