What is Vivapur 102
Vivapur 102 is a refined grade of microcrystalline cellulose characterised by its medium particle size and superior binding properties. It is widely valued for its ability to improve tablet hardness while maintaining fast disintegration, making it a preferred choice in solid dosage formulation. Its consistent particle structure ensures reliable processing performance, particularly in direct compression processes, eliminating the need for additional granulation steps.
In addition to its pharmaceutical benefits, Vivapur 102 is also used in food and nutraceutical formulations as a stabiliser, texturiser, and bulking agent. It is insoluble in water but highly absorbent, which enhances moisture control and contributes to product stability. Its inert nature, compatibility with a wide range of APIs and ingredients, and clean-label suitability make it an essential and versatile ingredient across multiple industries.

Applications & Functionalities
Vivapur 102 is commonly used in pharmaceutical formulations as a binder, filler, and disintegrant, particularly in tablet manufacturing through direct compression. Its excellent flow properties support consistent die filling, while its compressibility enables strong tablet formation with minimal friability. In food and nutraceutical applications, it functions as a texturiser, anti-caking agent, and stabiliser, helping to maintain uniformity and improve mouthfeel. It can also enhance suspension stability and prevent ingredient separation in powdered and liquid formulations. Its ability to absorb moisture and maintain structural integrity further extends shelf life and product performance.
