Product Overview
Croscarmellose Sodium — Superdisintegrant
Olymph Global LLP is an India-based manufacturer and exporter of pharmaceutical excipients, food ingredients, and specialty chemicals, serving domestic and international markets.
Croscarmellose Sodium is a widely used pharmaceutical superdisintegrant designed to facilitate the rapid breakup of tablets and capsules after administration. It is a cross-linked, partially carboxymethylated cellulose derivative with excellent water uptake and swelling characteristics.
Croscarmellose Sodium works primarily through rapid water absorption and swelling, helping compressed tablets break apart into smaller particles and facilitating the subsequent release of the active pharmaceutical ingredient. Its high swelling capacity and efficient wicking properties make it suitable for a broad range of immediate-release solid oral dosage formulations.
It is commonly used in the manufacture of tablets, capsules, orally disintegrating formulations, and other solid oral dosage forms. It can be incorporated into formulations through either intra-granular or extra-granular addition, depending on the formulation design and desired disintegration performance.
Croscarmellose Sodium can help pharmaceutical manufacturers achieve consistent tablet disintegration while maintaining suitable tablet mechanical strength. The required concentration and method of incorporation depend on the active ingredient, excipient combination, compression conditions, and desired release characteristics.
At Olymph Global LLP, we focus on the manufacturing and export of pharmaceutical excipients, supporting pharmaceutical manufacturers, formulation companies, and international buyers with product information, applicable specifications, quality documentation, and export-oriented business coordination.
Our Croscarmellose Sodium is intended for customers seeking a reliable superdisintegrant for suitable solid oral dosage formulations, subject to applicable pharmacopoeial standards and regulatory requirements in the destination market.
