Asahi Kasei CEOLUS PH-102 Microcrystalline Cellulose – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary functional role of CEOLUS PH-102 in pharmaceutical solid dosage forms?

A: CEOLUS PH-102 serves primarily as a binder and disintegrant in direct compression tablet formulations, offering excellent compactibility and rapid wetting to support robust tablet formation and consistent dissolution performance.


Q2: How does PH-102 compare to standard microcrystalline cellulose grades in terms of flow and compressibility?

A: PH-102 is engineered for superior powder flow and higher compressibility compared to conventional MCC grades, enabling improved content uniformity and reduced weight variation during high-speed tableting without requiring additional glidants or lubricants in many cases.


Q3: Is CEOLUS PH-102 suitable for use in oral dispersible tablets (ODTs) and other fast-dissolving systems?

A: Yes — its optimized particle morphology and high surface area promote rapid water penetration and structural disintegration, making it well-suited for ODTs and other rapidly dissolving dosage forms where quick dispersion and low residual grittiness are critical.


Q4: What are the recommended storage conditions to maintain PH-102’s performance characteristics?

A: Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent hygroscopic uptake, which may affect flowability and compaction behavior over time.
