Description

Inulin, Carboxymethyl Ether, Sodium Salt is a chemically modified polysaccharide derived from inulin, designed for enhanced solubility and functionality. This derivative is valued for its ability to act as a versatile hydrocolloid, thickener, and stabilizer in aqueous systems. It is primarily utilized by formulators in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and advanced material sectors seeking biocompatible and water-soluble polymers with specific rheological properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a binder, disintegrant, or controlled-release matrix agent in tablet and capsule formulations.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Functions as a film-forming agent, viscosity modifier, and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and serums.
• Biomedical Research: Serves as a substrate or carrier in hydrogel development for tissue engineering and drug delivery systems.
• Food Technology (where compliant): Potential use as a dietary fiber supplement and texturizing agent in functional food products.
• Industrial Applications: Employed as a water-soluble polymer in specialty coatings, adhesives, and as a dispersing agent.
