Sorbitol Special® MDF 85
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. Sorbitol Special MDF 85 (NF & PH EUR) is designed for PEG fill systems. It is ideal for APIs that are incompatible with Water and Glycerin (ex. Ibuprofen, Diphenhydramine). Free of Animal Products, making it safe to use for Vegan and Vegetarian-friendly formulations.
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 plasticizers are engineered to counterbalance the stresses during processing and drying.
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
