CEOLUS® KG / UF

Microcrystalline Cellulose USP/NF, EP, JP


Ceolus KG / UF are super-compactibility Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) powder grades. The unparalleled compactibility is attributed to it’s distinctive rod-form particle configuration. Ceolus KG / UF grades thus enable lowest friability, reduced compression force, low addition rate and reduced tablet size. Even at 5% addition, they are very effective.

Ceolus KG / UF finds use in direct compression, wet granulation, roller compaction as well as for adsorption of oily actives for direct compression. They occupy a unique position among dry binders in it’s combination of three salient performance characteristics – far higher compactibility, together with an optimum balance of powder flowability and tablet disintegration.

Effective in tableting of high dose actives, poorly compressible actives, pressure -sensitive actives, coated granules / pellets and orally disintegrating tablets. It is ideal in formulations based on MUPS (Multiple unit particulate systems) technology.

CEOLUS KG 1000 Similar applications like KG grades. However, flow is more superior compared to KG types.
