NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. recognizes the critical role of effective binding in tablet manufacturing. This article focuses on pregelatinized starch, a leading choice for mastering tablet binding processes, ensuring optimal hardness and controlled drug release.

Pregelatinized starch is a highly regarded tablet binder due to its unique ability to facilitate granulation and improve compressibility. In wet granulation processes, it acts as a fluid binder, helping particles adhere to form robust granules. These granules, when compressed, result in tablets with excellent mechanical strength and uniformity. The consistent performance of pregelatinized starch as a tablet binder is essential for achieving desired product quality.

Beyond wet granulation, pregelatinized starch is also highly effective in direct compression (DC) applications. Its inherent flowability and compressibility allow it to be mixed directly with APIs and other excipients, simplifying the manufacturing process and reducing processing steps. This makes it a valuable component when considering how to improve tablet integrity with starch, as it contributes significantly to the final tablet's physical characteristics.

The benefits extend to drug release. While providing excellent binding, pregelatinized starch also possesses disintegrant properties that ensure the tablet breaks apart appropriately post-ingestion. This dual functionality—acting as both a binder and a disintegrant—makes it an incredibly versatile ingredient for formulators aiming for efficient drug delivery. Understanding these pregelatinized starch disintegrant properties is key to fine-tuning release profiles.
