Cellulose Acetate

Muby Chem operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility producing Cellulose Acetate known for its exceptional purity and efficacy.

Our cutting-edge technology ensures the production of high-quality Cellulose Acetate meeting the highest standards for performance and consistency.

Application: MOLCEL^® is used as a film-coating agent for tablets and capsules. It helps to protect the drug from environmental factors like moisture, oxygen and light, while also controlling the release of the active ingredient. In some formulations MOLCEL^® ACE is used in controlled-release (or extended-release) tablets. This allows the drug to be released slowly over time, providing a steady therapeutic effect and reducing the need for frequent dosing.
