Description

Starch NF

Starch NF is a high-purity, naturally derived carbohydrate polymer used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food applications as a binder, disintegrant, and excipient. Compliant with National Formulary (NF) standards, it provides consistent functionality, solubility, and stability for solid dosage forms and other formulations. Starch
• Is a NF-compliant carbohydrate polymer for pharmaceutical and food use
• Is used as a binder, disintegrant, and excipient in tablets, capsules, and powders
• Supports controlled release, tablet integrity, and rapid disintegration
• Is suitable for oral solid dosage forms, 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
Starch NF is chemically composed of Amylose and Amylopectin glucose polymers. It appears as a white to off-white powder, readily dispersible in water, and compatible with a wide range of pharmaceutical excipients.
In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications, Starch NF is used in:
• Tablets and capsules as a binder, filler, or disintegrant
• Powdered formulations for improved flow, compressibility, and consistency
• Controlled-release and immediate-release oral dosage forms
• Suspensions and topical formulations requiring rheological control
• Research and development of functional excipient systems
Starch NF provides excellent compressibility and disintegration properties, ensuring consistent drug delivery and dosage form performance. It is compatible with both direct compression and wet granulation processes.
CarboMer supplies Starch NF with control over moisture content, particle size, purity, and microbial limits. Material meets NF monograph specifications and is suitable for regulated pharmaceutical and nutraceutical 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, microscopy), assay, moisture content, particle size, and microbial limits. Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and full traceability documentation accompany every shipment.
As with all CarboMer excipients and functional polymers, Starch NF is supported by formulation guidance, regulatory expertise, and secure global supply to ensure safe, effective, and consistent product performance.
