Product type
Anhydrous lactose is a carbohydrate derived from milk, primarily used as a filler and binder in pharmaceutical formulations. It is produced by removing the water content from lactose, resulting in a dry powder that is highly soluble and has excellent flow properties. This makes it an ideal excipient for tablet and capsule manufacturing, providing bulk and stability to the final product.

When selecting anhydrous lactose, buyers should consider the intended application and the required specifications such as particle size, moisture content, and bulk density. It is also important to specify any necessary certifications, such as pharmaceutical grade or food grade, depending on the use case. Quantities may vary based on production needs, so buyers should clearly communicate their requirements when requesting a quote.
