  • What is sorbitan sorbitol special plasticizer?
  • 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 shell.
  • What are the different types of soft gel plasticizers?
  • In terms of hardening rates, the plasticizers can be rank ordered as Sorbitol Special MDF 85 > Sorbitol Special ≈ Sorbitol Special GC > Sorbitol Special A-810 > glycerin for capsules with PEG 400 as fill. Thus, different soft gel plasticizers give significantly different drying and hardening rates.
  • Are sorbitol special plasticizers soluble in peg?
  • Sorbitol Special plasticizers are not soluble in PEG. They will not leach into the PEG-based fills of the capsule unlike standard plasticizers such as glycerin that are soluble in PEG. Using Sorbitol Special can result in a more stable shell, reducing failures from leaking capsules and increasing quality and output.
  • Are sorbitol-sorbitan Solutions a good plasticizer for soft gelatin capsules?
  • Sorbitol-sorbitan solutions are widely used as plasticizers in the manufacture of soft gelatin capsules. This study confirms their functional advantage through a rank order of soft gel plasticizers in terms of their drying behavior and associated time to impart hardness into the final capsule.
  • How does sorbitol special work?
  • Sorbitol Special can also inhibit blooming — white discoloration on the surface of the capsule. Left alone, PEG can react with gelatin plasticizers, allowing moisture to migrate away from the shell, causing the capsule to break down. Sorbitol Special plasticizers can help keep moisture well-adjusted to help prevent this failure.
  • Why do you need a special plasticizer for a soft capsule?
  • 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 counter balance the stresses during processing and drying. SPI Pharma has the products and expertise to make a difference in your soft gel.
