SCORALITE DC

Directly compressible calcium Carbonate

 

Scoralite DC range is a compound of 90 - 95% precipitated calcium carbonate granulated with different binders using the continuous fluid bed granulation process. This provides tableting advantages like excellent flowability, reduced dust formation and homogenous particle size distribution. Due to its high bulk density, production of tablets with lower thickness is easily achievable.

All these grades are also available with low lead (less than 250 ppb) or low aluminium (less than 2 ppm) contents.
