Mannitol, DC

Mannitol, DC – Pharmaceutical-Grade Direct Compression Excipient

Mannitol, DC (Direct Compression) is a pharmaceutical-grade excipient specifically engineered for efficient tablet compression without the need for additional granulation. Known for its excellent flow properties, low hygroscopicity, and smooth mouthfeel, mannitol DC is widely used in dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, and chewable or orally disintegrating tablets where stability and palatability are critical.

Mannitol DC provides a clean, mildly sweet taste with a cooling sensation, making it ideal for consumer-facing oral dosage forms. Its chemical stability and compatibility with a wide range of active pharmaceutical ingredients allow it to integrate seamlessly into formulations while maintaining consistent compression performance and tablet integrity.

Key Benefits of Mannitol, DC

• Optimized for direct compression applications
• Excellent flow and compressibility
• Low moisture absorption for improved stability
• Mild sweetness with a smooth, cooling mouthfeel
• Supports uniform tablet weight and hardness
• Chemically stable and non-reactive

Ideal Direct Compression Excipient for Tablets

Mannitol DC functions as both a diluent and functional excipient, providing bulk, structure, and palatability in compressed tablets. Its direct compression properties support high-speed tabletting while minimizing capping, sticking, and weight variation. It is particularly well suited for chewable tablets, orally disintegrating tablets, and moisture-sensitive formulations.

Mannitol DC is commonly used in:

• Direct compression tablets
• Chewable tablets
• Orally disintegrating tablets
• Dietary supplement manufacturing
• Pharmaceutical formulations
