Sorbitol Special® A810
Product Information
Sorbitol Special® plasticizers are sorbitan-sorbitol-based soft gel plasticizers. They enhance the capsule finish gloss for a premium appearance, help to prevent leakage, provide consistent pharmaceutical quality, and extend shelf life by maintaining a proper moisture balance within the capsule shell. The formation of a soft capsule requires the use of a non-volatile plasticizer in addition to water to guarantee the mechanical stability. Sorbitol Special A810 is designed for viscous fills (Oil or PEG), it is pre-blended Sorbitol Special with Glycerin and is free of Animal Products, making it safe to use for Vegan and Vegetarian-friendly formulations.
Stable and efficient plasticizer
- Lower mobility in gel – lower migration into fill
- Fewer incompatibilities than glycerin
Helps improve the appearance of soft gel capsules
- Keep the shell soft and pliable, making it stable and easy to handle
- Results in smooth and shiny, premium-finish
Significantly less hygroscopicity
- Low water retention – shorter drying time, lower gas permeability, preservation of functional fills
- Low susceptibility to water migration/permeability
Lower moisture uptake for hotter/moist climate zones
- Hotter/moist regional climate can cause higher oxygen permeability in the softgel
- Regional climate can also lead to higher rates of diffusion cosolvents
