Sheffield Lactose Monohydrate NF 80 was especially developed for direct compression. It combines the good flowability of a coarse lactose ideally with the good compactibility of a fine milled lactose.
The proprietary process used to manufacture Mannogem EZ Spray Dried - Mannitol yields a porous material with lower disintegration times, a narrow particle size distribution, enhanced flow, and compression properties. It is due to these properties that Mannogem EZ is excellent in ODT formulations. It produces tablets with higher hardness than other excipients at comparable compression forces, and its higher surface area allows Mannogem EZ to work well as a base for ordered mixing with micronized APIs and low dose formulations. Mannogem® Mannitol products are manufactured from sugar cane or from corn starch/syrup.
