Croscarmellose Sodium

Cross-linked CMC superdisintegrant enabling rapid tablet break-up at low use levels.

GRADES: PRISTSOL CCS

Product Overview

About this product

Croscarmellose Sodium is an internally cross-linked form of sodium CMC that swells rapidly on contact with water — typically 4 to 8 times its volume within seconds — pulling tablets apart from within. At use levels of just 0.5–5 %, it delivers fast, consistent disintegration without compromising tablet hardness, making it a standard superdisintegrant in immediate-release and orally disintegrating tablets.

Key Applications

Immediate-release tablets and capsules
Orally disintegrating tablets (ODT)
Dispersible tablets
High-dose formulations needing fast release
