Pregelatinized Starch

Modified starch offering binding, flow and disintegration in a single multifunctional excipient.

GRADES: Fully & partially pregelatinized

Product Overview

About this product

Pregelatinized Starch is maize starch that has been chemically and mechanically processed to rupture the starch granules, making it cold-water swellable. Partially pregelatinized grades uniquely combine three functions — binder, disintegrant and flow aid — reducing the number of excipients a formulation needs and simplifying direct-compression blends.

Key Applications

Direct compression binder-disintegrant
Wet granulation binder (cold water paste)
Capsule filling diluent
Controlled-release matrix support
