SAMICEL® PH 102
Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC)
Pharmaceutical-grade Microcrystalline Cellulose ideally suited as a Filler, Diluent, and Binder in solid dosage forms. Featuring a coarser particle size, it delivers enhanced flowability and excellent compressibility.
A Functional Grade for Solid Dosage Formulations
SAMICEL® Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) PH 102 is a pharmaceutical excipient meeting the highest Pharmacopeial standards, processed from purified and partially depolymerized plant-based cellulose.
Thanks to its established physical and functional properties—including exceptional compressibility, strong binding capacity, and superior particle flowability—it is extensively used in formulating solid dosage forms such as tablets and capsules.
Compared to PH 101, the PH 102 grade features a coarser particle size. This key characteristic significantly improves powder flow behavior, making it the preferred choice for high-speed tablet presses and direct compression processes.
Performance Benefits of SAMICEL PH 102
The specific rheological profile and targeted particle size distribution of PH 102 make it the ideal excipient for modern, high-speed pharmaceutical manufacturing lines.
Filler / Diluent
An industry-standard filler and diluent in tablet formulations, enabling consistent drug dose uniformity and bulk volume.
Superior Binder
An exceptionally effective dry binder that guarantees the mechanical strength and integrity of tablets during packaging and transit.
Enhanced Flowability
The coarser particle size ensures smooth, continuous powder discharge from hoppers and prevents die bridging during tableting.
Direct Compression
The ultimate choice for direct powder compression, eliminating the need for time-consuming pre-granulation steps.
Wet Granulation
Fully compatible with wet granulation systems, facilitating the production of uniform, high-quality pharmaceutical granules.
Compressibility
Delivers excellent compaction under mechanical pressure while preserving appropriate drug release and dissolution profiles.
Technical Distinction: PH 101 & PH 102
The core differentiator between these two pharmaceutical grades lies in their particle size distribution, bulk density, and resulting powder flow characteristics during manufacturing.
Particle size values are verified using standardized pharmacopeial sieve analysis methods. To obtain the exact specifications for each production batch, please refer to the official Certificate of Analysis (COA) and SamDarou's Technical Data Sheet (TDS).
