GRADE: IP / BP / EP / USP - NF 

APPLICATIONS:

1. PHARMACEUTICALS:

    Disintegrant: SSG is primarily used as a super-disintegrant in pharmaceutical tablets and capsules. It helps to rapidly break           down tablets and capsules into smaller particles when they come into contact with water or gastric fluids, facilitating the                release and absorption of the active pharmaceutical ingredient.

    Binder: In addition to its disintegrant properties, SSG can also act as a binder, helping to hold the ingredients of a tablet or             capsule together.

2. FOOD INDUSTRY:
      SSG is sometimes used as a disintegrant in food products such as powdered drink mixes and instant desserts to improve their         reconstitution properties.

3. COSMETICS:
      SSG is used in cosmetics and personal care products as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and emulsifier. It can be found in                    products such as creams, lotions, and gels.
