Benefits of Superdisintegrants

Our superdisintegrant offerings meet the requirements necessary to achieve fast and robust disintegration with minimal amount of disintegrating agent. These properties facilitate the use of any ingredient you need in order to optimize other parameters of your formulation (compactability or drug solubility for example).

GLYCOLYS®, one of our sodium starch glycolate (SSG)-based products, offers solutions to specific environments and conditions susceptible to affect disintegrant performance as well as ensuring stability for drugs, like GLYCOLYS® Low pH ensures stability to acidic molecules.
