Product type
Compressible sugar is a type of excipient used in the pharmaceutical industry, primarily as a filler and binder in tablet formulations. It is typically made from sucrose or other sugar derivatives that have been processed to enhance their compressibility. This allows for the creation of tablets that can maintain their shape and integrity during manufacturing and handling processes. Compressible sugar is often favored for its ability to improve the flow properties and compressibility of powder blends.
| Composition | Sucrose or sugar derivatives |
| Appearance | White crystalline powder |
| Solubility | Soluble in water |
| Moisture content | Typically less than 5% |
| Particle size | 50 to 200 microns |
When selecting compressible sugar, buyers should consider the specific formulation requirements, including the desired tablet hardness and disintegration time. It is important to specify the grade of sugar, as well as any necessary certifications for pharmaceutical use. Additionally, buyers should indicate the required quantities to ensure appropriate pricing and availability.
