Features and Benefits
The unique feature of NM-Carbomer 71G NF is its free-flowing granular form, allowing for tablet manufacturing by direct compression. Direct compression plays a key role in the pharmaceutical industry as it is the most economical as well as the shortest and most direct way to produce an oral tablet. However, in order to achieve a robust final dosage form, a direct compression formulation requires an excipient like Carbopol 71G NF that exhibits good flowability and compressibility
