Products particularly adapted to direct compression

Direct compression is a process that is becoming increasingly more important as it requires less drug stressing conditions than wet granulation and allows for improved productivity.

Roquette proposes a remarkable varied range of products suitable for the formulation of all types of tablets, ensuring good flowability, excellent compressibility and a specific particle size distribution to ensure uniform mixing. We offer multiple starches or starch compounds for swallowable / dispersible tablets.

PEARLITOL® FLASH mannitol-starch compound is an innovative co-processed excipient for orodispersible tablets.
StarLac® lactose-starch compound is a co-processed excipient with unique tabletting properties.
LYCATAB® C multifunctional starch excipient is a multifunctional starch excipient for capsules and tablets.
MICROCEL™ is a partially depolymerized cellulose, white, odorless and tasteless crystalline powder, composed by porous and high compressibility particles, ideal for tablets, capsules, granules and pellets.

Polyols with outstanding combination of chemical stability, great tasting and sugar free properties.

PEARLITOL® SD mannitol and PEARLITOL® DC mannitol are part of a comprehensive range of granulated mannitol, adapted for swallowable / chewable / oral dispersible or effervescent tablets, used in challenging or unstable formulations.
