description Product Description
α-Cellulose is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry as an excipient in tablet formulations due to its excellent binding and disintegrating properties. It helps in maintaining the structural integrity of tablets while ensuring they break down efficiently in the digestive system. In the food industry, it serves as a dietary fiber additive, enhancing the fiber content of products without significantly altering their taste or texture. Additionally, α-Cellulose is utilized in the production of microcrystalline cellulose, a key component in cosmetics and personal care products, where it acts as a thickener, stabilizer, and texturizer. Its high purity and inert nature make it suitable for use in filtration processes, particularly in the purification of liquids and gases. In the paper and textile industries, α-Cellulose is a fundamental raw material for producing high-quality paper, fibers, and fabrics, contributing to their strength and durability. Its versatility and biocompatibility also make it a valuable material in biomedical applications, such as wound dressings and drug delivery systems.
