With their extraordinary compactibility, CEOLUSTM UF and KG facilitate formulation design and tableting efficiency – particularly for high-dose, small-tablet, and low-compactibility drug implementations.
They are the product of advanced materials and process technology based on decades of leadership in MCC, and complement the standard CEOLUSTM PH and colloidal CEOLUSTM RC series which are widely recognized and trusted for superior function, performance, and quality.

Features and key applications
In the CEOLUSTM UF series, the particles are porous, rounded composites of multiple micro-rods. The result is an unparalleled combination of compressibility and flowability. This enables, in particular:
- Reduced tablet size for high-dose formulations and low-compactibility drugs, and freedom from tablet capping.
- Heightened efficiency in direct-compression tableting with gravity feeder.
CeolusTMKG is a maximum-compactibility MCC powder. Rodform particles. Facilitates high-dose formulation, low-compactibility drug tableting, and reduced tablet size.

Features and key applications
The unparalleled compactibility of CEOLUSTM KG originates in its distinctive rodform particles. This compactibility enables, in particular:
- Reduced MCC addition and tablet size.
- Reduced compression force and superior tableting of pressure-sensitive enzymes, antibiotics, and film-coated granules.
