Our GLYCOLYS® product provides this benefit for swallowable tablets, orally dispersible tablets and hard capsules. Roquette has been producing sodium starch glycolate for more than 20 years. We have developed different grades of GLYCOLYS® to meet specific needs, such as withstanding high shear granulation, acidic conditions or with a low organic solvent content.

SOLUTAB® Croscarmellose sodium is a superdisintegrant that provides an efficient disintegration at low level of use. Disintegration performance is obtained through the wicking and swelling capacity of SOLUTAB® that can be maximized via the selection of its origin (wood or cotton). Three grades are available to help you optimize your product selection. It is flexible as it is adapted to wet and dry granulation or direct compression processes. SOLUTAB® is a crosslinked carboxymethyl cellulose sodium. SOLUTAB® can be used in various oral dosage forms in both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications as an excipient including swallowable tablets, orally dispersible tablets, hard capsules, blends, granules and pellets premix.
