Silicified Microcrystalline Cellulose (Microcrystalline Cellulose, NF, JP, Ph. Eur., BP and Colloidal Silicon Dioxide, NF, Ph. Eur., BP, Light Anhydrous Silicic Acid, JP)
DESCRIPTION:
ProSolv HD 90 is a silicified high-density microcrystalline cellulose composed of 98% microcrystalline cellulose and 2% colloidal silicon dioxide. Silicification of the microcrystalline cellulose is achieved by a patented process, resulting in an intimate association between the colloidal silicon dioxide and microcrystalline cellulose. The residue on ignition result indicates the percent colloidal silicon dioxide in ProSolv HD 90, and the remainder is microcrystalline cellulose. This particular grade has a median particle size (by sieve analysis) in the region of 90 m.
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS:
ProSolv HD 90 complies with the monograph for Microcrystalline Cellulose in the NF, JP, Ph. Eur., and BP except where Colloidal Silicon Dioxide NF is referenced. 1. 2. Appearance Identification White or almost white powder. It consists of freeflowing particles. A. A violet-blue color is obtained B. A stable suspension is obtained C. Degree of polymerization is not more than 350 D. A yellow color results when prepared according to the Colloidal Silicon Dioxide NF monograph E. A greenish blue spot is produced when prepared according to the Colloidal Silicon Dioxide NF monograph 3. 4. 5. pH Conductivity Residue on ignition 5.0 - 7.0 Not more than 75 S 1.8 - 2.2%

Assurance that this product meets the Organic Volatile Impurities (OVI) specifications as listed in USP <467> is based on the knowledge that there is no potential for the specific toxic solvents to be present in the material. The product is not exposed to any OVIs during our manufacturing, handling, shipping, and storage. JRS Pharma warrants that this material, if tested, will comply with the established standards.
PACKAGING:
ProSolv HD 90 is available in 25 kg polyethylene-lined bags; it is also available in 50 kg drums. Other packaging options available by request.
STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS:
ProSolv HD 90 should be stored in original, unopened, well-closed containers under conditions that do not typically exceed 30C and 70% RH. When stored as recommended, ProSolv HD 90 has a recommended re-evaluation period of three (3) years from the date of manufacture. An additional year can be added if the loss on drying, conductivity and water-soluble substances re-evaluation tests are within specification.
