Boost Your Formulations with Colloidal MCC – Premium Ingredient

colloidal MCC

What is Colloidal microcrystalline cellulose (colloidal MCC)?

colloidal MCC is a high-purity cellulose derivative with unique colloidal properties, produced through:

  • Acid hydrolysis (using 2.5N HCl at 105°C for 15 mins)
  • Or steam explosion (at 245°C, 2.8MPa for 2 mins)

Key structural advantages:

  • Crystallinity index: 75-85% (vs 40-60% for regular cellulose)
  • Surface area: 150-300 m²/g (measured by BET method)
  • Particle size: 90% <50μm (laser diffraction analysis)
