With moisture content controlled below 5%, bulk density standardized at 0.26-0.31 g/cm³, and pH stabilized between 5.0-7.5, this pharmaceutical excipient meets USP/EP/BP specifications. Backed by HACCP, FSSC22000, ISO, and HALAL certifications, our product serves both food and pharmaceutical industries with immediate stock availability and comprehensive technical support.

What Is Microcellulose Powder?

The product, chemically identified as CAS 9004-34-6, represents purified and partially depolymerized cellulose processed into a white or almost white, odorless powder. This multifunctional excipient originates from sustainable plant-based sources through acid hydrolysis treatment.

The manufacturing process removes amorphous cellulose regions while preserving crystalline structures. This creates a material with superior compressibility and excellent moisture management properties.

In pharmaceutical applications, it functions as a binder, disintegrant, and anti-caking agent. Food manufacturers utilize it as a texturizer, fat replacer, and dietary fiber source across multiple product categories.

Technical Specifications

Key Applications & Functional Benefits

Pharmaceutical Sector

You can use this excipient as a dry binder in tablet formulations for improved compaction without Granulation. It has outstanding disintegration qualities in direct compression as well as in wet granulation process.

Its low hygroscopicity protects moisture sensitive API. Your formulations get enhanced tablet hardness while providing fast dissolving profiles.

Food Processing

You get the ability to reduce calories in baked products without giving up texture and mouthfeel. Microcellulose Powder can replace up to 30% of fat content and still maintain the sensory qualities.

It stabilises emulsions in dairy replacements and sauces, and inhibits syneresis. Your items are more stable on the shelf and have a uniform viscosity, even when temperatures change.

Dietary Supplements Sector

It is an inert filler in capsule formulations and ensures consistent powder flow during encapsulation. Consistent dosing accuracy and increased production efficiency.

It is a natural bulking agent that enables you to build vegetarian-friendly supplements with clean-label appeal.
