Product Description
AVICEL® PH-101 is a high-purity, pharmaceutical-grade microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) produced from α-cellulose via controlled acid hydrolysis.
The material is supplied as an off-white to white free-flowing powder with a typical average particle size of approximately 50 µm.
Moisture content is controlled to approximately 3–5% under standard conditions.
As a versatile excipient, AVICEL PH-101 functions as a filler/diluent, binder and compression-aid for a broad range of oral solid dosage forms including tablets, capsules, granules and pellets.
It is particularly well-suited for wet granulation, extrusion–spheronization and compaction processes because of its ability to rapidly absorb aqueous binder solutions and yield uniform granules and compressions.
