1. Description

Croscarmellose Sodium (CAS 74811-65-7) is an essential pharmaceutical excipient, functioning as a highly effective superdisintegrant in solid dosage forms. It is an internally cross-linked form of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC), a modified cellulose polymer. Its key benefit lies in its ability to rapidly absorb water and swell significantly, promoting fast disintegration and dissolution of tablets and capsules.

3. Usage

  • Widely used as a superdisintegrant in tablet formulations (direct compression, wet granulation, dry granulation) at typical concentrations of .
  • Incorporated into capsule formulations to facilitate rapid disintegration of the powder plug upon shell opening.
  • Enhances dissolution profiles of poorly soluble drugs by breaking down the solid dosage form quickly.

4. Packaging & Transportation

Supplied in well-closed, sealed containers, typically multi-wall paper bags or fiber drums with polyethylene liners to protect against moisture. Classified as non-hazardous for standard road, air, and sea transportation.

5. Storage

Store in airtight containers in a cool, dry environment away from high humidity. Croscarmellose Sodium is hygroscopic; proper storage is crucial to maintain its disintegration properties.
