Product name: Paracetamol DC (Direct‑Compressible Grade)
CAS‑No:103‑90‑2
Molecular Formula: C8H9NO2Molecular Weight: 151.16 g/mol
1. Product Brief
Paracetamol DC is direct‑compressible granular grade of Paracetamol (Acetaminophen). It is produced by fluid‑bed granulation with co‑processed pharmaceutical excipients. Compared with standard paracetamol powder, DC grade features excellent flowability and compressibility, suitable for high‑speed direct compression tableting without wet granulation process. Available in DC90, DC96 common grades, complying with USP / BP / EP pharmacopoeia requirements under GMP production.
