TCC TB Tricalcium citrate as excipient for direct compression

Direct compression has gained enormous popularity in tablet manufacturing in recent times. It is seen as the most economic process in terms of labour, time, equipment, operational energy, and space. What is more, direct compression also has the added advantage of eliminating problems due to heat and moisture that can occur during wet granulation. However, it places great demands on the excipients used in the process. Direct compression therefore requires that tablet formulations (active ingredients and excipients) exhibit good compactibility as well as flowability.

TCC TB is a tricalcium citrate tetrahydrate designed to function as a direct compression excipient. It combines exceptional compression characteristics, good flowability and good tolerability.

TCC TB is produced in a unique production process which creates the special crystalline structure that is responsible for its outstanding characteristics – making it ...
