Tricalcium Citrate TB: excipient for direct compression and a tablet filler or diluent
Designed for use as a filler or diluent in tableting, TCC TB is an excipient also suitable for direct compression. It has a unique crystalline structure, which provides high-tolerability and flow characteristics and the excipient is able to maintain a high-porosity when compacted with high-tensile strength at low compression.

These characteristics mean tablets produced from TCC TB disintegrate quickly without using added disintegrants.
TCC TB is suitable to be added to low and medium dose activities. Compared with other brittle fillers such as dicalcium phosphate, this excipient shows a low-abrasiveness, leading to lower wear on tableting equipment.
