Description
MCC (Microcrystalline Cellulose) (CAS No. 9004-34-6)
MCC (Microcrystalline Cellulose) is a refined natural cellulose polymer widely used as a pharmaceutical binding agent, tablet disintegrant, and filler in food, cosmetic, and industrial applications. Known for its high purity, compressibility, and stability, Microcrystalline Cellulose plays a key role in modern formulation science.
At Davar ChemTech, we supply pharmaceutical-grade MCC powder that meets international standards such as IP, BP, USP, and EP. As one of the most reliable Microcrystalline Cellulose suppliers in India, we offer a complete range of grades including MCC 101, 102, 200, and 302—suitable for diverse production requirements in the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries.
What is Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC)?
Microcrystalline Cellulose is a purified, partially depolymerized form of cellulose derived from plant pulp, primarily obtained from wood fibers or cotton linters. It is a white, odorless, free-flowing powder with excellent compressibility and water-insolubility, making it an ideal tablet formulation aid and pharmaceutical additive.
MCC acts as both a binder and a disintegrant, providing mechanical strength and ensuring controlled breakdown of tablets. It is also used in food-grade and cosmetic formulations as a bulking, texturizing, and stabilizing agent.
Applications and Uses
Our Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) is known for its versatility across multiple industries.
1. Pharmaceutical Industry
In pharmaceuticals, MCC is primarily used as a tablet binder and disintegrant due to its superior flow properties and compressibility.
- Ideal for direct compression and wet granulation methods.
- Provides uniform tablet hardness and rapid disintegration.
- Compatible with most active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
- Used in capsules, chewable tablets, and coated formulations.
Common MCC grades like MCC 101 and MCC 102 are widely used for oral solid dosage forms.
2. Food and Nutritional Industry
MCC serves as a food-grade filler and stabilizer in dietary supplements and food products.
- Adds texture and bulk to low-calorie foods.
- Used as an anti-caking and thickening agent in powdered mixes.
- Enhances stability in dairy, beverages, and bakery applications.
It is a GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) certified ingredient, making it suitable for human consumption.
3. Cosmetic and Personal Care Industry
Used as a rheology modifier and thickener in creams, lotions, and powders. MCC helps achieve desired consistency, smooth texture, and product stability.
4. Chemical and Industrial Applications
Acts as a chemical raw material and inert filler in coatings, paints, and other specialty formulations requiring high purity and uniformity.
