Description

Calcium Starch Isododecenylsuccinate is a modified starch derivative, specifically the calcium salt of starch isododecenylsuccinate. This compound is valued for its role as a multifunctional excipient, offering superior binding, disintegration, and flow properties in solid dosage formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries seeking to enhance the performance and stability of tablets and capsules. Its unique structure provides excellent compressibility and low hygroscopicity compared to some native starches.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Tablet Binder & Disintegrant: A key functional excipient in direct compression and wet granulation processes for tablets, providing both binding strength and rapid disintegration.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplement Formulations: Used in vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplement tablets and capsules to ensure consistent dosage and stability.
• Controlled-Release Matrix Systems: Acts as a component in sustained-release formulations to modulate the dissolution profile of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Food-Grade Applications (where specified): Potential use as a texturizer, stabilizer, or anti-caking agent in specific food products, subject to regulatory approval and grade availability.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Employed as a binder, absorbent, or texture modifier in pressed powders, makeup, and other solid cosmetic products.

Quality Control

Our Calcium Starch Isododecenylsuccinate is manufactured under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and performance. We can supply material compliant with relevant pharmacopeial standards (e.g., USP-NF, Ph. Eur.) for pharmaceutical applications upon request. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality attributes is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect performance.
