Description

Pharmaceutical – lactose monohydrate is mechanically milled to varying degrees of fineness. Due to its fine nature, milled lactose does not tend to flow well, but its relatively high surface area means that it is highly compactable.

  • Highly consistent monohydrate lactose
  • Confer good compaction properties
  • Offerings from multiple production sites

Pharmatose® and Lactochem® are DFE Pharma’s brand names for pure white and highly consistent crystalline, milled lactose monohydrate grades.

Lactose is mechanically milled to varying degrees of particle sizes allowing pharmaceutical companies to choose the grade best fitting their formulation needs. Due to its fine nature and relatively high surface area, milled lactose compacts well. This lactose type is typically used in tablets, capsules and extrusion spheronisation.
