Key Properties
Sodium starch glycolate (extra pure) is a crosslinked carboxymethyl starch sodium salt that serves as a highly effective superdisintegrant in pharmaceutical tablet formulations. It is particularly valued for its ability to facilitate rapid disintegration of tablets upon contact with water, enhancing the bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients. This polymeric compound is widely utilized in the pharmaceutical industry due to its excellent performance characteristics and regulatory acceptance. Its extra pure grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for sensitive applications in drug formulation.
Also known as Crosslinked carboxymethyl starch sodium salt.

- Substance
Sodium starch glycolate appears as a white to off-white free-flowing powder. It is hygroscopic and swells significantly when exposed to water, which is a key property that contributes to its function as a disintegrant. The material has a typical bulk density of approximately 0.3 to 0.5 g/cm³ and a solubility profile that allows it to disperse quickly in aqueous environments. The melting point is not applicable as it is a polymer, but it decomposes at temperatures above 200°C. The pH of a 1% solution is typically around 6 to 8, indicating its neutrality in formulations.
