Product type
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a refined wood pulp that is commonly used as an excipient in the pharmaceutical industry. It is a white, odorless powder that is non-toxic and insoluble in water, making it an ideal filler and binder in tablet formulations. MCC functions by providing bulk, improving the flow properties of powders, and enhancing the mechanical strength of tablets.
