There has been intensive search for new fast disintegrant (super disintegrants) for
pharmaceutical tablets due to the realization of the importance of Bioavailability. Sodium
Starch Glycollate has been result of extensive research work done for development of super
distegrants. Maple Biotech Pvt. Ltd. has developed the product matching to all international
standards through enormous development work.The product is manufactured under brand name
“Celtab”.
Celtab granules absorb water at a very fast rate resulting in enormous increase in the volume
of particles, which develops internal pressure in the tablet causing rapid disintegration and
fast dissolution of active ingredients of tablet. Celtab after absorption of water, forms gel
which is insoluble in water. It causes very uniform disintegration and the effectiveness does
not change even after prolonged storage. Celtab particles after absorption of water are
nonsticky and do not cause any resistance to the permeability of water into the bulk of tablet.
