    Applications & Uses

    Manufacturing Technology
    Application

    CELNY SSL 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 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.
