VIVAPUR® & EMCOCEL®
Microcrystalline cellulose
 
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is an odorless, tasteless, porous white powder derived from pharmaceutical grade wood pulp. With a wide range of chemical, technical, and economic benefits, MCC is one of the most widely used binder excipients for tablet formulations. 
 
VIVAPUR® & EMCOCEL® offer:
  • High compactibility
  • Robust tablets with low friability
  • High production yields
  • Cost savings due to reduction in dosage levels
  • Compatibility with most APIs (inert)
 
GRADES - Microcrystalline Cellulose, Ph. Eur., NF, JP, E 460(i), FCC
  • VIVAPUR® 105 NV
    • Very fine grade, which gives a pleasant mouth feeling, masks bitter tastes and supports flavors.
  • VIVAPUR® 101 / EMCOCEL® 50 M
    • Fine standard MCC grade, especially suited for wet granulation, roller compaction and spheronization. Very high compactibility.
  • VIVAPUR® 103
    • Same quality as grade 101/50M, but very low moisture content (< 1.5 %) for processing water-sensitive actives.
  • VIVAPUR® 301
    • Same quality as grade 101, but increased bulk density and improved flow properties.
  • VIVAPUR® 102 / EMCOCEL® 90 M
    • Medium size standard MCC grade, suited for the majority of directly compressible actives. Combines good flow and high compactibility.
  • VIVAPUR® 112 / EMCOCEL® XLM 90
    • Same quality to grades 102/90M, but very low moisture content (< 1.5 %) for processing water-sensitive actives
  • VIVAPUR® 302 / EMCOCEL® HD 90
    • Same quality to grade 102/90M, but increased bulk density and improved flow properties. Especially suited for high speed tableting and processing high density actives.
  • VIVAPUR® 102 SCG / EMCOCEL® 90 M COARSE
    • Coarse, DC-grade MCC.
  • VIVAPUR® 12
    • Coarse grade MCC, combines good compactibility and high binding capacity with outstanding flow. Provides good content uniformity at low weight variation – even when used with low concentrations of fine actives.
  • VIVAPUR® 14
    • Same quality to grade 12, but very low moisture content (<1.5 %) for processing water-sensitive actives.
  • EMCOCEL® LP 200
    • Coarse grade MCC, combines good compactibility and high binding capacity with outstanding flow. Provides good content uniformity at low weight variation – even when used with low concentrations of fine actives.
  • VIVAPUR® 200
    • Large size MCC grade with excellent flow properties for a variety of direct compression formulations.
  • VIVAPUR® 200 XLM
    • Same quality to grades 200/LP200, but very low moisture content (<1.5 %) for processing water-sensitive actives.
