SUPERDISINTEGRANTS
Superdisintegrants provide shorter disintegration times at lower dosages, and therefore have less impact on other tablet properties such as tablet strength and hardness.
Primojel® - Sodium starch glycolate
- Cross-linked and carboxy-methylated potato starch
- High swelling power: takes up more than 20 times its own weight of water
- Rapid water penetration into the tablets and powerful swelling results in rapid disintegration.
- Cost-effective
- Application: tablet and capsule formulations. In higher concentrations, Primojel® can act as a dissolution enhancing agent. Primojel® is effective when used as intra-granular or extra-granular super- disintegrant, or when divided between these locations.
Primellose® – Croscarmellose sodium
- Primellose® is cross-linked carboxymethylcellulose sodium
- Rapid water penetration (wicking) into tablets through the hydrophilic, fibrous particles leads to swelling of fibres and strong disintegration force
- Superior performance compared with many other brands
- Effective alternative to crospovidone, or where non-starch ingredients are required
- Application: tablet and capsule formulations. Primellose® is effective when used as intra-granular or extra-granular superdisintegrant, or when divided between these locations.
