Sigachi®

Univar Solutions Pharmaceutical Ingredients has proudly partnered with Sigachi® as an authorized distributor of its MCC and excipient products.

As one of the largest manufacturers of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and cellulose powder globally, Sigachi® delivers these products worldwide through a robust distribution network and direct warehouses.

MCC is a commonly used excipient in the pharmaceutical industry. Recognized for compressibility, it is used in solid dosage forms in both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications and is a core excipient in direct compression technology providing product hardness and disintegration time.

Sigachi® has invested in the development of new products, such as Hicel™ MCC and the BARETab™ range (ready-to-use co-processed excipients).

Product Information

BARETab® PH

A high-functional homogenous co-processed ready-to-mix compound composed of binder, glident, disintegrant, and lubricant. The simplicity of the manufacturing process offers higher productivity at lower costs.

BARETab® Nutra

A multi-functional excipient ready-to-use premix for direct compressible tablet formulation. It is a novel combination of four pharmacopeial excipients: binder/filler, glidant, super-disintegrant, and lubricant.

It offers excellent homogeneous blending and binding properties and also delivers in terms of higher tablet harness with lesser disintegration time and homogeneous API distribution in tablets. It is designed for nutraceutical formulations.

BARETab® ODT

A multi-functional excipient premix for disintegrating tablet formulations. It delivers functional parameters needed for oral dissolving formulations and offers a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. It provides parameters to the tablets for hardness, less friability, disintegration time, and maintains drug content.

BARETab® Lub

A combination of binder and lubricant, made by using co-processed technology for oral solid dosage forms. It promotes high-speed tableting operations and enhances flowability of the material. It can be used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, or food industries. BARETab® Lub is developed to assist formulators to achieve more consistent performance and delivery characteristics, while meeting industry challenges for a faster, more consistent product. It also improves the flowability of APIs with smooth particles.

HiCel™

The HiCel™ brand of MCC is a spray-dried directly compressible form of MCC. HiCel™ is available in several grades, which vary in their average particle size, moisture content, and bulk density.

Grade	Description	Applications
HiCel™ 50M	MCC 101	Can be used for both wet and dry granulation due to its small particle size. Effective when used with large particles because of is binding properties. Primary use is in the wet granulation applications.
HiCel™ 90M	MCC 102	Has larger particle size and improved flowability, especially with smaller particle size components. Most popular grade of MCC used in direct compression.
HiCel™ LP200	MCC 200	Large particle size used with poorly flowing actives. Improves flowability and facilitates high-speed tableting of direct compression blends and reduces tablet weight variation.

The mission of Sigachi® is to actively participate in Patient Centric Drug Delivery Systems. Their MCC and co-processed excipients are suited for the production of mini tablets that are easy to swallow and offer optimization of dosage form performance.

Univar Solutions and Sigachi® offer more than 35 grades of spray-dried directly compressible HiCel™ MCC-based excipients available for all formulation needs.

As a global leader in the distribution of specialty chemicals and ingredients, Univar Solutions brings solutions, industry-leading services, and market knowledge to support their diverse product portfolio.
