Wet Granulation: High Shear and Fluidized Bed

CELNY can be readily dissolved in both water and most organic solvents to prepare effective granulation solution. Poor flow and compaction actives can be successfully granulated using CELNY to make tableting more feasible through both high shear wet granulation and fluidized bed granulation methods.

Dry Granulation: Direct Compression and Roller Compaction

CELNY is highly plastic and deformable, and exhibits high cohesive and adhesive forces, all important characteristics of a robust direct compression dry binder used for solid oral dosage forms. We often recommend CELNY SSL-SFP for some of the most challenging direct compression formulations because of its super fine particle size, high plasticity and enhanced compressibility, allowing formulators to create tablets of outstanding quality.

CELNY is suitable for both aqueous and organic coating systems. It provides a robust yet flexible film coating with low tackiness, high moisture barrier properties as well as sharper imprint definition. CELNY L, SL and SSL are recommended.

Higher molecular weight/viscosity grades of CELNY can be used for controlled release hydrophilic matrix tablets. Typical addition rate between 20-30% for effective delayed release of active ingredients are possible. CELNY H and VH are recommended.
