NEOCEL® C11

NEOCEL® C11 is a type of colloidal microcrystalline cellulose. Its colloidal grade is water-dispersible. It is used widely in pharmaceutical and food industries. NEOCEL® is a co-dried blend of microcrystalline cellulose and specific grade carboxymethylcellulose sodium (NaCMC). Microcrystalline cellulose is prepared by chemical depolymerization of highly-purified alpha cellulose. The crystalline portions of the fiber, after being subjected to wet mechanical processes are co-processed with NaCMC to form the colloidal microcrystalline cellulose. NaCMC serves as a protective colloid and aids in the dispersion of the product. NEOCEL® functions as a suspending agent and emulsion stabilizer. It is primarily used in syrup, antiacid suspension, emulsion, nasal sprays and ointment. NEOCEL® finds wide applications in food such as dairy product, beverage, bakery product, sauce & dressing and processed meat. NEOCEL® finds applications in health care products such as toothpaste, cream, lotion, foams, foundations and shampoo. This product is water-dispersible, water dispersible powder, water-insoluble hydrocolloid products. Characteristic: It is compatible with most water-soluble polymers and alcohols. It is whitish, opaque dispersion, odorless and tasteless. It has creamy smooth texture. Thixotropy is achievable at levels as low as 1%.
