Swapnroop Pharma manufactures and supplies Potassium Alginate Excipient, a water-soluble salt of alginic acid and a functional pharmaceutical excipient used for thickening, stabilizing, suspending, film formation and controlled-release formulation applications.
Potassium Alginate is derived from alginic acid, a naturally occurring polysaccharide obtained primarily from brown seaweed. Its polymeric structure consists mainly of mannuronic and guluronic acid residues, with potassium ions associated with the carboxylate groups.
As a pharmaceutical excipient, Potassium Alginate is valued for its water-binding, viscosity-modifying, stabilizing and film-forming properties. It can form viscous aqueous dispersions or solutions and is useful in formulations where controlled rheology and suspension stability are required.
Potassium Alginate is generally supplied as a white to yellowish-white or pale powder. Its viscosity and hydration characteristics depend on polymer composition, molecular-weight distribution, source material and manufacturing grade.
The material can be selected for pharmaceutical formulations requiring a naturally derived polysaccharide excipient with thickening, suspending or film-forming functionality.
Potassium Alginate Excipient can be used in:
Potassium Alginate provides:
Swapnroop Pharma supplies Potassium Alginate Pharmaceutical Excipient for formulation and pharmaceutical development applications. The product can be supplied according to required grade, viscosity and customer specification.
Because alginate properties depend on the source and manufacturing grade, the final specification should be established against the exact product CoA, SDS and applicable pharmaceutical requirements.
Potassium Alginate should be stored in tightly closed packaging in a cool, dry and clean environment. Protect the material from excessive moisture, heat and contamination.
Packaging quantities can be arranged according to product grade and bulk-order requirements.
