Deprogel-PGS

Physically Modified Pregelatinised Starch

DEPROGEL-PGS is a unique excipient that serves a dual purpose as both a binder and a disintegrant. It is a partially pregelatinised starch modified strictly by physical methods, ensuring no chemical residues.

This product is highly stable, heat-treated for longevity, and offers exceptional flowability, making it the ideal choice for modern tablet and capsule manufacturing processes.

  • Direct Compression: Excellent flow properties allow for direct compression without additional glidants.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for Wet Granulation and Roller Compaction as well.
  • Binder & Disintegrant: Acts as a mild binder while ensuring effective disintegration.
  • High Stability: Long shelf life due to specialized physical modification and heat treatment.
