- HIGHLIGHTS
MCC SANAQ® is pure microcrystalline cellulose, which chemical and physical identities meet the international standards (Pharm Eur., USP/NF, JP, Kosher).; MCC SANAQ® has excellent compressibility. The outstanding plasticity enables to produce tablets with high temper and ultimate strength. At the same time the tablets have very short disintegration times. Its good flowing properties guarantee high production rates. High microbial purity, color stability and excellent absorption properties of MCC SANAQ® lead to success in all tableting processes.; MCC SANAQ® is a nonreactive substance with homogenous particle size. This makes it ideal as filter Material in separation technology to guarantee results of high quality.
