Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC)

Our JayCell range is designed for superior tableting performance, ensuring optimal flow, compressibility, and stability for various applications.

JayCel-101

Optimized for wet granulation and spheronization. Ensures uniform particle distribution, improving tablet strength and formulation consistency.

JayCel-102

Larger particle size with enhanced compressibility. Ideal for direct compression, offering better flow and improved disintegration properties.

JayCel-200

Low moisture content for moisture-sensitive formulations. Perfect for APIs prone to degradation, maintaining product integrity and shelf life.

JayCel-105

Fine particle size for enhanced binding properties.
Ideal for roller compaction, dry granulation, and improving tablet cohesion.

JayCel-305

Free-flowing and highly compatible with crystalline APIs. Ensures uniform blending and better dissolution rates in solid dosage forms.

JayCel-112

Coarser particles for high-compression formulations. Enhances tablet hardness while maintaining optimal disintegration.

JayCel-12

Balanced particle size for weight uniformity. Improves flow properties, reducing content variation in final formulations.
