Era-Tab SP

Co-Spray Dried Rice Starch and colloidal silicon dioxide (USP44/NF39)

Era-Tab SP is an agglomerated form of rice starch and colloidal silicon dioxide (aerosil), obtained by co-spray drying of rice starch and colloidal silicon dioxide. Era-Tab SP is a dry white, odorless tasteless, insoluble, neutral and free-flowing powder and suitable for direct compression filler in tablet formulation.

Era-Tab SP used as a tablet filler that can be compressed at low moisture content environment. In making the medicinal tablet, the hardness is higher than Era-Tab of the same compression force.
