Neocel®
Microcrystalline Cellulose Colloidal Grade
Neocel® function as suspending agent/thickener and emulsion stabilizer, primarily used in syrups, suspensions such as antacid preparations, emulsions, nasal sprays and creams. It is also used in healthcare products such as toothpaste, creams, lotions, foams, foundations and shampoos.

High NaCMC content and lowest viscosity. | Highest viscosity. | Viscosity lower than that of Neo-C81 but particle finer than Neo-C81. | Improved version of Neo-C91, easily activated. | Highest NaCMC content and low viscosity. |
Thixotropy achievable at levels as low as 1%
The thixotropic behavior of Neocel dispersions facilitates the filling of suspension products and their stability during standing in their finished package.
