PHARMATOSE 70 M is a white or almost white, crystalline powder freely soluble in water, practically insoluble in ethanol. It is a lactose monohydrate powder conforming to pharmacopoeia standards. PHARMATOSE 70 M offers over 98% particle size distribution below 600 microns, making it well-suited for tableting and other pharmaceutical applications requiring fine particle sizes. As a lactose monohydrate, PHARMATOSE 70 M provides excellent flowability and compressibility properties for direct compression processes. It assures clear and colorless or nearly colorless solutions, critical for products where appearance is important. PHARMATOSE 70 M's specified low moisture content and low residue on ignition translates to long shelf life and batch-to-batch consistency, important factors for pharmaceutical manufacturers.
