JayCel™ Silicified Microcrystalline Cellulose (SMCC)

JayCel™ SMCC is an advanced co-processed excipient engineered for superior flowability, enhanced compressibility, and reliable high-speed tableting performance across pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations.

Silicified Microcrystalline Cellulose for Advanced Formulation Performance

JayCel™ SMCC is a co-processed excipient combining Microcrystalline Cellulose with colloidal silicon dioxide to improve powder flow, compactibility, and direct compression efficiency. It supports smoother die filling, better blend uniformity, reduced segregation risk, and consistent tablet quality in modern pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing. SMCC is especially useful where conventional MCC requires improved flow behavior without compromising compression strength.

Balanced Flow / Fine Particle Profile Ultra High Flow / Better Die Filling

SMCC 50 LD

D50: 40–75 µ
Angle: 38–48°
Low-density handling

SMCC 50

D50: 40–75 µ
Angle: 35–45°
Balanced compression

SMCC 90

D50: 80–140 µ
Angle: 30–40°
High-flow processing

SMCC 90 LM

D50: 80–140 µ
Angle: 28–38°
Improved flow consistency

SMCC 90 HD

D50: 80–140 µ
Angle: 25–35°
Maximum flow performance

Lower Angle = Better Flow

As angle of repose decreases, powder movement and die filling performance improve.
