Product
Micro Crystalline Cellulose is a mechanically disintegrated level
of D.P. Cellulose. It comprises purified, de-polymerised, Micro
Crystalline sub micron size colloidal particles. It is produced
by treating Alfa Cellulose obtained as a pulp from fibrous plants
with minerals acid.
It is a white, odourless, tasteless, extra free
flowing powder which is relatively free from organic and non-organic
contaminants. It is metabolically inert, and has excellent water
absorptive, swelling & dispersion properties, is insoluble
in water, dilute acid, common organic solvents and oils. It is
partially soluble in dilute alkali.
Process
Rayon Grade wood pulp, the main raw material is hydrolyzed under
very carefully controlled conditions. After Hydrolysis, specific
inclusion of hydrophobic agents is done. This is followed by thorogh
washing with de-mineralised water. The depathogenised slurry prepared
is pumped for Spray Drying and finally blended and packed. |
