Microcrystalline Cellulose Applications
Microcrystalline cellulose is mainly used as a non-caloric food additive, pharmaceutical excipient and dispersant, filler for thin-layer chromatography and column chromatography, color-carrier for dyes and pigments, reinforcing filler for thermosetting resins and thermosetting laminates, coatings, emulsifiers, and also in water-based paints and ceramics industry.
