Product Overview

About this product

This co-processed excipient combines microcrystalline cellulose with sodium carboxymethylcellulose to create a colloidal system that disperses in water to form stable, thixotropic gels. It suspends insoluble actives uniformly, resists sedimentation over shelf life, and delivers a smooth mouthfeel — which makes it the excipient of choice for oral suspensions, dry syrups and topical formulations.

Key Applications

Antacid and antibiotic suspensions
Topical creams, lotions and gels
