Pharmacel® sMCC 90 has the following benefits compared to conventional excipients:
Improved tablet compression
Pharmacel® sMCC 90 is a highly functional excipient for direct compression processes. In comparison with conventional excipients, Pharmacel® sMCC 90 leads to lower capping of tablets at high compaction speed thereby enabling 20% harder tablets.
Higher production speeds
The production speed of tablets depends on the pace of several intermittent steps. Pharmacel® sMCC 90 enables higher processing speed in n multiple units of operation. Additionally, Pharmacel® sMCC 90 allows for a swift and more consistent flow from the hopper.
The flowability of Pharmacel® sMCC 90 enables consistency in tablet weight, with weight variation below 1% for 250mg placebo tablets.
Rapid formulation development
Pharmacel® sMCC 90 mitigates formulation challenges due to its improved flow and compaction compared to conventional excipients. Additionally, low lubricant and dwell-time sensitivity allow for easy-scale up. Moreover, Pharmacel® sMCC 90 reduces the number of excipients compared to regular grades and removes the need to process
