Microcrystalline Cellulose MCC China Factory and Professional Suppliers
Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) is a premium pharmaceutical-grade excipient meticulously engineered for high-performance tablet production. Characterized by its highly porous particle structure and exceptional deformability, MCC provides superior drug-holding capacity and outstanding dry adhesion. This specialized cellulose derivative ensures the creation of hard, stable tablets with optimized disintegration properties, making it an indispensable component in modern pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Our MCC product is available as a white or off-white powder or granular powder, remaining odorless and tasteless. It exhibits complete insolubility in water, ethanol, ether, dilute sulfuric acid, organic solvents, and oils, ensuring chemical stability across a wide pH range. Compliant with the 2020 Chinese Pharmacopoeia (Part 4), our Microcrystalline Cellulose offers a biodegradable and safe solution for pharmaceutical, food, and skincare applications, blending purity with functional versatility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the primary difference between PH-101 and PH-102 MCC?
The primary differences are particle size and moisture content. PH-101 has an average particle size of 50μm with moisture ≤0.5%, while PH-102 has a larger average size of 100μm and moisture ≤3.5%.
Q: Can Microcrystalline Cellulose be used in non-pharmaceutical products?
Yes, it is widely used as an anti-caking agent and stabilizer in food additives, and as a viscosity enhancer and texture improver in skin care products.
Q: How does MCC improve the quality of pharmaceutical tablets?
MCC acts as a filler, binder, and disintegrant. It improves the fluidity of the mix, enhances the dissolution of the drug, and allows for the compression of very hard tablets.
Q: Is your Microcrystalline Cellulose biodegradable?
Yes, as a plant fiber-based product, our MCC is completely biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
Q: What are the recommended dosage levels for MCC in tablets?
Typical dosages range from 5%-20% for binders and diluents (both wet and dry), 5%-15% as a disintegrant, and 10%-30% for capsule diluents.
Q: How should Microcrystalline Cellulose be stored to maintain quality?
It should be kept away from moisture in sealed cardboard barrels. Once opened, the product should be used as soon as possible to prevent contamination or moisture absorption.
