PC-10

The Characteristics and Functions of PC-10

PC-10 is a non-soluble pregelatinized corn starch which retains the shell structure of starch grains but has an extremely low water-soluble content. It is a versatile excipient. It serves as dissolution enhancer, granulation aid, and stabilizer for moisture-sensitive drugs, and carrier for hygroscopic materials.
