FLOWLAC
Lactose Monohydrate (Spray-Dried) USP/NF, EP, JP

FlowLac is directly compressible lactose having a spherical agglomerate shape, consisting of small alpha-lactose monohydrate crystals bound by amorphous lactose. It is produced by spray-drying a suspension of fine milled alpha-lactose monohydrate crystals in a solution of lactose.

FlowLac 100 is the standard grade while FlowLac 90 was developed by optimizing the amorphous lactose content coupled with the particle size distribution thereby making it virtually dust-free.
