Sodium starch glycolate is the sodium salt of a carboxymethyl ether of starch. The molecular weight is typically 500 000-11 000 000. Very fine, white or off white, free flowing powder; odourless or almost odourless. Practically insoluble in water, insoluble in most organic solvents. It consists of oval or spherical granules, 30-100 µm in diameter with some less-spherical granules ranging from 10-35 µm in diameter..

Croscarmellose Sodium is internally cross-linked Sodium, which is used as a disintegrant in pharmaceutical formulations. The cross-linking reduces water solubility while still allowing the material to swell and absorb many times its weight in water. As a result, it provides superior drug dissolution and disintegration characteristics, thus improving formulas' subsequent bioavailability. Croscarmellose Sodium also resolves formulators' concerns over long-term functional stability, reduced effectiveness at high tablet hardness levels, and similar problems associated with other products developed to enhance drug dissolution.
