About Sodium Starch Glycolate

We have gained enormous respect by offering the best quality Sodium Starch Glycolate that is the sodium salt of a carboxy Methyl Ether of starch. The offered starch is used in oral pharmaceuticals for the manufacturing of capsule and tablets. This starch is formulated by our associated vendors using optimum quality chemicals and pioneering techniques in adherence with international quality standards. As per the diverse needs of the clients, we are offering this Sodium Starch Glycolate in various packaging options at reasonable price.

Features:

Excellent solubility
Purity
Non toxic
Hygienically processed

Details:

Our customers can avail from us an assortment of Sodium Starch Glycolate that is the sodium salt of a carboxymethyl ether of starch, having a typical molecular weight of 500 000-11 000 000. Practically insoluble in water and in most organic solvents, it appears as very fine, white or off white, free flowing powder that is odorless or almost odorless.

Consisting of oval or spherical granules, 30-100 m in diameter with some less-spherical granules ranging from 10-35 m in diameter, it is primarily used a Disintegrant, Dissolution Aid, Suspending Agent.

The disintegration of Sodium Starch Glycolate takes place by rapid uptake of water followed by rapid and enormous swelling. Its disintegrant efficiency is unimpaired in the presence of hydrophobic excipients, such as lubricants unlike many other disintegrants. Even if the tablet compression pressure is increased, it does not appear to have an effect on the disintegration time.

Application:

Widely used in oral pharmaceuticals as a disintegrant in capsule and tablet formulations.
It is recommended to use in tablets prepared by either direct-compression or wet granulation processes.
Used as a suspending vehicle

The recommended concentration in a formulation is 2-8%, with the optimum concentration about 4% although in many cases 2% is sufficient.

Superior Tablet Disintegration

Sodium Starch Glycolate is renowned for its rapid and effective tablet disintegration properties. As a pharmaceutical excipient, it enables oral formulations to break apart swiftly, ensuring efficient release of active ingredients and faster therapeutic action for the patient.

Quality and Safety Standards

Manufactured from maize or potato starch in India, this product adheres to rigorous pharmacopeia specifications. With a purity of 99% and negligible heavy metal content, it is trusted by pharmaceutical companies for safe formulation. Stringent controls on moisture and residue ensure consistent performance batch after batch.

FAQs of Sodium Starch Glycolate:

Q: How is Sodium Starch Glycolate used in pharmaceutical tablet formulations?

A: Sodium Starch Glycolate acts as a disintegrant in oral tablet and capsule formulations, improving the breakdown of the dosage form upon ingestion to enable rapid drug release and absorption.

Q: What are the main benefits of using Sodium Starch Glycolate in tablets and capsules?

A: Its superior disintegration efficiency leads to faster onset of action for medications and enhances patient compliance by allowing tablets to dissolve quickly and reliably.

Q: When should Sodium Starch Glycolate be added during the tablet manufacturing process?

A: It is typically incorporated during the blending stage before granulation or tablet compression to ensure uniform distribution and optimal disintegration.

Q: Where is Sodium Starch Glycolate manufactured and exported from?

A: This excipient is produced in India, where it is exported and supplied by pharmaceutical ingredient traders and exporters to global markets.

Q: What quality parameters are crucial for Sodium Starch Glycolate in pharmaceuticals?

A: Important parameters include high purity (99%), low moisture content (10%), low heavy metal concentration (0.002%), and compliance with pharmacopeial standards such as particle size and residue on ignition.

Q: How should Sodium Starch Glycolate be stored to maintain its quality?

A: It should be kept in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry location to prevent moisture uptake and preserve its disintegrant properties over time.

Q: What raw materials are used to produce Sodium Starch Glycolate?

A: The product is synthesized from natural sources such as maize or potato starch, providing an effective, safe, and widely accepted pharmaceutical excipient.
