Product Overview

Description









Croscarmellose Sodium 


 


CAS No : 74811-65-7


Croscarmellose Sodium is internally cross linked sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose for use as a disintegrant in pharmaceutical formulations. The cross linking reduces water solubility while still allowing the material to swell and absorb many times its weight in water. As a result, it provides superior drug dissolution and disintegration characteristics, thus improving formula’s subsequent bioavailability.


Croscarmellose Sodium is developed to enhance drug dissolution. 


Croscarmellose sodium is a stable though hygroscopic material. It should be stored in a well-closed container in a cool & dry place.
