Primojel®

Primojel®
Product Description

Primojel® sodium starch glycolate is a superdisintegrant suitable for various tablet and capsule formulations. In higher concentrations, Primojel® can act as a dissolution enhancing agent. Primojel® is highly effective when used intragranular and/or extragranular in dry/wet granulation processes.




Primojel® takes up more than 20 times its own weight of water. Rapid water penetration into the tablets and powerful swelling results in rapid disintegration. Studies show that Primojel® takes up more water than comparative products on the market and develops a strong disintegrating force making it a highly effective product.The botanical source, degree of cross-linking and degree of substitution of Primojel® have been optimized in order to enable rapid water uptake by the polymer without the formation of a viscous gel that may impede water penetration into the tablet.




Maintaining the native spheroid structure of potato starch grains supports the optimal flow properties of Primojel®

  • Understanding and Accounting for Excipient Variability in Continuous Tablet Manufacturing (CM)

    Whitepaper Understanding and Accounting for Excipient Variability in Continuous Tablet Manufacturing (CM)

    As pharmaceutical production moves from batch-wise to continuous manufacturing, individual processing steps, such as blending of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) with excipients, have to be re-designed to continuous operations.

    Whilst the cost and quality benefits of CM are well documented, successful implementation relies on an in-depth understanding of how raw materials and their mixtures – including excipients – behave in continuous processes. This whitepaper will outline some of the key learnings from DFE Pharma’s excipients in CM processes variability experiments, before setting out DFE Pharma’s Stretch Batch Approach and how it can work in practice.
    Ultimately, it will demonstrate why DFE Pharma is fast becoming the pharma industry’s preferred global partner in the robust development of continuous tablet manufacturing processes.
