Sorbitol Special®

Sorbitol Special® plasticizers are sorbitan-sorbitol based soft gel plasticizers. They enhance the capsule finish gloss for a premium appearance, help to prevent leakage, provide consistent pharmaceutical quality, and extend shelf life by maintaining a proper moisture balance within the capsule shell.

Improving Soft Gel Capsules

The formation of a soft capsule requires the use of a non-volatile plasticizer in addition to water to guarantee the mechanical stability. Sorbitol Special plasticizers are engineered to counter balance the stresses during processing and drying. Top-Life Pharmaceutical UK has the products and expertise to make a difference in your soft gel.
