MCC Type | Partical Size (micron) | Utilization | |
PH 101 | 50 | It is most widely used for direct compression tableting, for wet granulation, for spheronization, and capsule filling process. | |
PH 102 | 100 | It is used as the PH - 101, but its larger particle size improves the flow of fine powders. | |
PH 103 | 50 | It has the same particle size as PH-101 with lower moisture content (3%), so it is used for moisture-sensitive pharmaceutical active ingredients. | |
PH 105 | Less than 50 | It is the most compressible of the PH products owing the smallest particle size. Well known as excipient for direct compression for granular or crystalline materials. When mixed with PH-101 or PH 102, specific flow and compression characteristics will be obtained. It has applications in roller compaction | |
PH 112 | 100 | It has the same particle size as PH-102. It has lower moisture content (1.5%). It is used for high moisture-sensitive pharmaceutical active ingredients. | |
PH 113 | 50 | It has the same particle size as PH-102. It has lower moisture content (1.5%). It is used for high moisture-sensitive pharmaceutical active ingredients. | |
PH 200 | 180 | It has large particle size with increased flowability. It is used to reduce weight variation and to improve content uniformity in direct compression formulations and in wet granulation formulations | |
PH 301 | 50 | It has the same particle size as PH-101 but is denser providing more flowability and tablet weight uniformity. Useful for making smaller tablets and in capsule filling excipient. |
