Power-up your formulations with Lattice® Microcrystalline Cellulose

We are a world leader in Microcrystalline Cellulose technology. Avicel® is the pioneer brand of Microcrystalline Cellulose, which started operating in the early 1960’s under the American Viscose Corporation. Lattice® is the trade name used by IFF’s Industrial Solutions for industrial applications, outside of food, pharmaceutical and personal care.

 

Our Lattice® Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) is a functional fiber that offers an exceptional range of unique properties. We offer two Lattice® MCC lines: Lattice® NT Binder grades and Lattice® NTC Colloidal grades – specially designed to match your application needs. Lattice® NT Binder grades are mostly used in granules, tablets and other applications where a high-purity cellulose polymer is required. Whereas Lattice® NTC Colloidal grades are mainly used in liquids and solutions. They require activation to exhibit their unique functionality and are therefore best suited to paints, coatings, crop protection products and more.

 

We have a long history producing Lattice® MCC and can support your application development needs. Let us help you find the right product for your application.
