PRIMOJEL is a superdisintegrant sodium starch glycolate (type A) suitable for a variety of tablet and capsule formulations in the pharmaceuticals industry. PRIMOJEL provides rapid disintegration performance and takes up more than 20 times its own weight of water. Rapid water penetration into the tablets and powerful swelling results in rapid disintegration. Studies show PRIMOJEL takes up more water than comparative products and develops a strong disintegrating force making it a highly effective product. PRIMOJEL remains an effective superdisintegrant and maintains disintegration time of tablets after storage for 6 months at 40° C / 75% RH in open containers. PRIMOJEL is recommended for use in pharmaceuticals formulations requiring fast disintegration of active ingredients for optimal dissolution and absorption when administered.
