EXCIPRESS™ SD2

Description

EXCIPRESS™ SD2 is a Spray-Dried lactose typically used for Direct Compression.

Spray-Dried lactose consists of fine primary lactose particles bound in a matrix of amorphous lactose. Its spherical shape combined with a narrow PSD enable the highest flowability.

Key benefits :

• Excellent compressibility
• Very good flowability
• Very good blending properties (Low dose formulations)
