Dilactose S is a Japanese Pharmacopeia, Lactose Hydrate (granulated powder) developed by our unique fluid bed granulation method. It is useful as an excipient for directly compression. F (Fine) is small particle size grade Dilactose. In comparison with the existing grades, both formability and disintegration have been improved.

    Product Highlights

    Dilactose S - Product Highlights

    • Well-balanced between compressive formability and disintegration

    Lactose manufactured by high-shear granulation is generally inferior in compressive formulation. On the other hand, lactose manufactured by the spraydry method has excellent compressive formability but conversely tends to be inferior in disintegration. In comparison, Dilactose®, which is manufactured by the fluid bed granulation method, is excellent on both counts so it is possible to obtain tablets with high hardness and fast disintegration.

    • Excellent Mixability and Fluidity

    Even though the particle size of Dilactose® S is very fine in order to enhance mixability with API, , it has excellent fluidity. This comes from the manufacturing process because lactose crystals are all finely granulated.

    • Excellent Storage Stability

    Absorbency is not as good as spray dry lactose so there is extremely low potential for the occurrence of caking over time.
