MICCEL – CMC
Microcrystalline Cellulose & Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium IP/USP
Solution for Suspensions, Lotions and Creams :
MICCEL CMC is the mixture of microcrystalline cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose Sodium various ratio depend on application. We produce following types of grades.
Specification
Test | Specification |

Description | Tasteless, odoriess, white, coarse to fine powder. |
Solubility | Swells in water, producing, when dispersed, a white, opaque dis or gel Insoluble in organic solvents and in dilute acids. |
Identification | |
Test-A | A white opaque, dispersion is produced that does not settle on Standing. |
Test-B | Each drop forms a white, opaque globule that does not disperse standing |
Test-C | No blue or purplish blue color produced. |

Silicified Microcrystalline Cellulose – USP
Solution for Optimum CompatibilitySilicification of MCC increased physical properties such as true density, Hausner ratio, porosity, ejection force and specific surface area. Other properties such as bulk and tap densities were reduced due to the amorphous and light character of fumed silica.
MICCEL S is the mixture of microcrystalline cellulose and colloidal silicon dioxide (MCC/CSD at 98:2 ratio) and most compactible grade of SMC with flow characteristics similar to doubling the parties size of MCC.
