HiCel™ - The Most Flow Enhancing Formulation Ingredient

HiCelTM Microcrystalline Cellulose is byfar most consistent Sigachi® Spray Dried brand of MCC in the Microcrystalline industry. HiCel boasts of results and parameters superior to the best in the market. Made from the most purified dissolving grade pulp, HiCelTM gets it’s unique morphology and flow characteristics from the fine-tuned process that is designed to produce a consistent and repeatable product.

Different grades of HiCelTM Microcrystalline Cellulose:

HiCel™ 50M​: MCC 101​- Since it has small particle size, can be used for both wet and dry granulation. Effective when used with large particles because of is binding properties. Primary use is in the wet granulation applications.​

HiCel™  90M​: MCC 102​- Has larger particle size, improved flowability, especially with smaller particle size components. Most popular grade of MCC used in direct compression.​

HiCel™ LP200​: MCC 200​- Large particle size used with poorly flowing actives. Improves flowability & facilitates high speed tableting of direct compression blends and reduces tablet weight variation.​

HiCel™  XLM 90​: Low moisture MCC 102​- Equal to grade 102/90M, but low moisture content (<1.5%) It is recommended for extremely moisture​ sensitive active ingredient .​

HiCel™  XLM 50M​: Low moisture MCC 101​- Equal to grade 101/50M, but low moisture content (<1.5%). It is recommended for extremely moisture​ sensitive active ingredient. ​
HiCel™  XLM 200​: Low moisture MCC 200​- Equal to grade LP200, but low moisture content (<1.5%). It is recommended for extremely moisture sensitive active ingredient. ​

HiCel™  25M​: MCC 105​- Finest grade for chewable tablets. Improves texture and compressibility. It gives a pleasant mouth feel, masks bitter tastes & supports flavors.​

HiCel™ 12​: MCC 12​- Coarse grade MCC, combines good compatibility & high binding capacity with outstanding flow, provides good content uniformity at low weight variation even when used with low concentration of fine actives. ​

HiCel™  14​: Low moisture MCC 12​- Equal to grade HiCel™ 12, but low moisture content (<1.5%) It is recommended for extremely moisture sensitive active ingredient.​

HiCelTM HD50M & HiCelTM HD90M​: MCC 302​​: MCC 301​- Similar to HiCel™  50M & HiCel™ 90M in particle size, but with higher densities. Both grades have improve flowability and facilitate thinner tablets.​
