SODIUM STARCH GLYCOLATE Extra Pure - 500 gm

Description

Sodium starch glycolate by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. This compound is the sodium salt of carboxymethyl ether. The reagent is available as a white powder which swells in water. Starch glycolates can be of rice, potato, wheat or corn origin. This reagent is produced by cross-linking and carboxy-methylation of potato starch. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 9063-38-1 Quantity Provided: 500 gm per bottle Sodium starch glycolate has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This reagent finds applications in the organic synthesis of various derivative compounds. Sodium starch glycolate is widely used as a pharmaceutical grade dissolution excipient for tablets and capsules. It rapidly absorbs water, which results in swelling that leads to rapid disintegration of tablets and granules. It is additionally used as a disintegrant, a suspending agent and as a gelling agent. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
