VIVAPUR^®

EMCOCEL^®

VIVAPUR^® 105

15

max 0.26

Very fine grade, which gives a pleasant mouth feeling, masks bitter tastes and supports flavors.

VIVAPUR^® 101

EMCOCEL^® 50 M

65

0.26 – 0.31

0.25 – 0.37

Fine standard MCC grade, especially suited for wet granulation, roller compaction and spheronization. Very high compactibility.

VIVAPUR^® 103

65

0.26 – 0.31

Same quality as grade 101/50M, but very low moisture content (< 1.5 %) for processing water-sensitive actives.

VIVAPUR^® 301

65

0.35 – 0.46

Same quality as grade 101, but increased bulk density and improved flow properties.

VIVAPUR^® 102

EMCOCEL^® 90 M

130

0.28 – 0.33

0.25 – 0.37

Medium size standard MCC grade, suited for the majority of directly compressible actives. Combines good flow and high compactibility.

VIVAPUR^® 112

EMCOCEL^® XLM 90

130

0.30 – 0.36

0.25 – 0.37

Same quality to grades 102/90M, but very low moisture content (< 1.5 %) for processing water-sensitive actives

VIVAPUR^® 302

EMCOCEL^® HD 90

130

0.35 – 0.50

0.38 – 0.50

Same quality to grade 102/90M, but increased bulk density and improved flow properties. Especially suited for high speed tableting and processing high density actives.

VIVAPUR^® 102 SCG

EMCOCEL^® 90 M COARSE

170/175

0.28 – 0.34

0.25 – 0.37

Coarse, DC-grade MCC.

VIVAPUR^® 12

180

0.30 – 0.36

Coarse grade MCC, combines good compactibility and high binding capacity with outstanding flow. Provides good content uniformity at low weight variation – even when used with low concentrations of fine actives.

VIVAPUR^® 14

170

0.32 – 0.40

Same quality to grade 12, but very low moisture content (<1.5 %) for processing water-sensitive actives.

EMCOCEL^® LP 200

220

0.20 – 0.37

Coarse grade MCC, combines good compactibility and high binding capacity with outstanding flow. Provides good content uniformity at low weight variation – even when used with low concentrations of fine actives.

VIVAPUR^® 200

250

0.31 – 0.37

Large size MCC grade with excellent flow properties for a variety of direct compression formulations.

VIVAPUR^® 200 XLM

250

0.33 – 0.40

Same quality to grades 200/LP200, but very low moisture content (<1.5 %) for processing water-sensitive actives.
