Primojel®

Tag: excipients

Description

Primojel® Sodium starch glycolate is a superdisintegrant suitable for a variety of tablet and capsule formulations. In higher concentrations, Primojel® can act as a dissolution enhancing agent. Primojel® is highly effective when used intragranular and/or extragranular in granular formulations.

Disintegration performance
Primojel® takes up more than 20 times its own weight of water. Rapid water penetration into the tablets and powerful swelling results in rapid disintegration. The swelling actions makes Primojel® most effective in non-soluble matrices. Studies show that Primojel® takes up more water than comparative products on the market and develops a strong disintegrating force making it a highly effective product. The botanic source, degree of cross-linking and degree of substitution of Primojel® have been optimized in order to give rapid water uptake by the polymer without the formation of a viscous gel that may impede water penetration into the tablet.

• Sodium Starch Glycolate type A
• Exceptional swelling performance ensures rapid disintegration
• Robust functionality across a variety of processes
