Description

Propylene Glycol Alginate NF

Propylene Glycol Alginate NF is a high-purity, water-soluble polymer used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food applications as a stabilizer, emulsifier, and viscosity modifier. Compliant with National Formulary (NF) standards, it is derived from alginic acid and esterified with propylene glycol to improve solubility, film-forming properties, and functionality in aqueous systems. Propylene Glycol Alginate
• Is a NF-compliant water-soluble polymer for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food applications
• Is used as a stabilizer, emulsifier, and thickening agent
• Enhances viscosity, improves suspension stability, and supports uniform drug delivery
• Is suitable for oral liquids, syrups, suspensions, and topical formulations
• Is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified conditions
• Is supplied with complete regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and technical data
Propylene Glycol Alginate NF is chemically designated as the Propylene glycol ester of alginic acid. It appears as a light to pale yellow powder or granules that are readily soluble in water, forming viscous solutions or gels depending on concentration and pH.
In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications, Propylene Glycol Alginate NF is used in:
• Oral syrups, suspensions, and solutions for uniform distribution of actives
• Topical formulations, gels, and creams for viscosity and stability
• Nutritional beverages, functional foods, and dietary supplements
• Controlled-release or sustained-release oral formulations
• Film coatings, encapsulation matrices, and bioadhesive applications
Propylene Glycol Alginate NF provides both rheological control and protective emulsification, helping to maintain the stability of sensitive ingredients, improve texture, and prevent phase separation. It is compatible with a wide range of pharmaceutical excipients and active ingredients.
CarboMer supplies Propylene Glycol Alginate NF with control over viscosity, degree of esterification, residual solvents, and microbial content. Material meets NF monograph specifications and is suitable for regulated pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food applications.
The material is packaged in sealed, moisture-resistant, tamper-evident containers. Available in laboratory, pilot, and commercial-scale volumes. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and documentation including CoA and SDS are provided upon request.
Each batch is tested for identity (IR, NMR), assay, viscosity, pH, moisture content, and microbial limits. Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and full traceability documentation accompany every shipment.
As with all CarboMer functional polymers and excipients, Propylene Glycol Alginate NF is supported by formulation guidance, regulatory expertise, and reliable global supply to ensure consistent, safe, and effective product performance.
