With their extraordinary compactibility, CEOLUS^TM 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 CEOLUS^TM PH and colloidal CEOLUS^TM RC series which are widely recognized and trusted for superior function, performance, and quality.

Relationship between compactibility and flowability of placebo tablets

Ceolus^TMUF is an MCC powder with unrivalled combination of compactibility and flowability.  Porous, multi-rodform rounded particles.  Facilitates high-dose formulation, low-compactibility drug tableting, reduced tablet size, and enhanced tableting efficiency.

Typical properties

Note: All values are presented only for the purpose of basic reference and not as specifications.

Features and key applications

1. Reduced tablet size for high-dose formulations and low-compactibility drugs, and freedom from tablet capping.
2. Heightened efficiency in direct-compression tableting with gravity feeder.

Ceolus^TMKG is a maximum-compactibility MCC powder.  Rodform particles.  Facilitates high-dose formulation, low-compactibility drug tableting, and reduced tablet size.

Typical properties

Features and key applications

The unparalleled compactibility of CEOLUS^TM KG originates in its distinctive rodform particles.  This compactibility enables, in particular:

1. Reduced MCC addition and tablet size.
2. Reduced compression force and superior tableting of pressure-sensitive enzymes, antibiotics, and film-coated granules.
