Polacrilin Potassium is a cross-linked, water-insoluble polymer used as a functional pharmaceutical excipient. It is the potassium salt of a cross-linked polyacrylic acid-type polymer and is valued for its high water-absorption, swelling, ion-exchange and disintegration properties.
Polacrilin Potassium is particularly useful in solid oral pharmaceutical formulations where rapid tablet disintegration and improved processing performance are required. It can also function as an ion-exchange resin and formulation aid.
Swapnroop Pharma manufactures and supplies Polacrilin Potassium in India for qualified pharmaceutical formulation applications. Grade selection can be aligned with the intended dosage form, particle characteristics and applicable quality requirements.
Polacrilin Potassium is primarily used as a functional excipient in solid dosage forms. Its cross-linked polymeric structure allows it to absorb water and swell without dissolving.
Its functions may include:
Polacrilin Potassium is mainly used in tablets and capsules, particularly immediate-release solid dosage forms.
When incorporated into a tablet, the polymer rapidly takes up water and swells, helping break the compact into smaller particles. This can support rapid disintegration and subsequent drug dissolution.
It can be incorporated into formulations manufactured through:
In addition to its disintegration function, Polacrilin Potassium can act as an ion-exchange material. Its cross-linked polymeric structure contains ionic functional groups capable of interacting with oppositely charged substances.
This property can be useful in selected pharmaceutical formulation and drug-delivery applications where ion-exchange behavior is required.
Polacrilin Potassium is a cross-linked polymeric material, so it does not have a single defined low-molecular-weight structure. Its functional characteristics depend on the degree of cross-linking, ionic form, particle size and manufacturing grade.
It is generally supplied as a white to off-white, free-flowing powder. It is insoluble in water but absorbs water and undergoes substantial swelling.
Swapnroop Pharma supplies pharmaceutical-grade Polacrilin Potassium to pharmaceutical manufacturers, formulation developers and qualified customers requiring functional polymeric excipients.
Grade selection can be based on requirements such as:
Polacrilin Potassium should be stored in tightly closed, moisture-protective packaging in a cool, dry and clean environment. Excessive moisture should be avoided because the material has a strong capacity to absorb water.
Storage and handling should follow the applicable product specification and SDS.
Depending on the selected grade and customer requirements, documentation may include:
