Description
Drugs and medicaments are required to be taken in small but
accurate doses in the form of pills and tablets. VISCO
pharmaceutical grade pregelatinized starch greatly endues the
compressibility as well as improves the fluidity of the tablets.
Pregelatinized starch is widely used in pharmaceutical because it
is bland, order less and capable of digestion. Excellent flow
properties and bulk density allow homogenous filling of
capsules.
It is multipurpose excipient combining the dilution and
disintegration power of native starch with new functionalities,
such as flow ability and controlled cohesive power. It allows
simplified processes as it swell in cold water and therefore reduce
time/cost compared with traditional starch paste preparation.
Our made pregelatinized starch complies with USP–NF, IP, Ph. Eur.
and JP monographs for pregelatinized starch.
Applications / Advantages:
1) VISCO pharmaceutical grade pregelatinized
starch is widely used as a binding and disintegrating agent for
tablets, pills and granules, also used as filler for
capsules.
2) Best as dry binder, increase tablet hardness,
Decrease tablet friability.
3) Its self-lubricating property eliminates any
negative effect on dissolution.
4) Superior flow properties ideal for direct
compression tableting.
Starch Source: Corn, Tapioca or Potato
