Dextrin in Pharmaceutical Formulations: Binding, Filling, and Beyond
The pharmaceutical industry relies on a diverse array of excipients to create safe, effective, and stable drug products. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is proud to offer low viscosity white dextrin, a versatile ingredient that plays multiple critical roles in pharmaceutical formulations. From its well-established function as a tablet binder and capsule filler to its utility in other specialized applications, dextrin offers formulators a reliable and adaptable solution.
As a tablet binder, dextrin is instrumental in enhancing the cohesiveness of powder mixtures. This property is essential for granulation processes, which improve powder flowability and compressibility. By binding particles together, dextrin ensures that tablets possess uniform weight, strength, and integrity. Manufacturers seeking to improve the mechanical properties of their tablets will find that utilizing dextrin for tablet granulation is a highly effective strategy. The ability to purchase high quality dextrin for drug formulation ensures that these critical binding properties are consistently met.
In capsule manufacturing, dextrin serves as an excellent filler and diluent. Its fine particle size and excellent flow characteristics allow for accurate and uniform filling of capsules, contributing to precise API dosage. This makes it a favored excipient for formulators aiming for precision in their capsule products. The reliability of dextrin as a capsule filler underpins the quality and efficacy of many oral solid dosage forms.
Beyond these primary applications, dextrin's properties lend themselves to other formulation needs. It can function as a sugar-coated plasticizer and binder, improving the flexibility and adhesion of tablet coatings. Additionally, it acts as a thickener for suspensions, contributing to the stability and uniform dispersion of active ingredients in liquid dosage forms. These varied uses highlight the adaptability of dextrin in pharmaceutical product development.
NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to supplying pharmaceutical manufacturers with high-performance excipients. Our low viscosity white dextrin is a testament to this commitment, offering a reliable solution for a wide range of formulation challenges.
