CAS No. 50-70-4
"Sorbitol Sorbitan Solution” is not just a plasticizer—it is a process enabler that enhances throughput, reduces defects, and ensures consistent capsule quality, aligning directly with operational excellence goals.

Key Features

  • Stable Plasticizer Composition
    Fixed sorbitol-to-sorbitan ratio ensures consistent plasticizing action
    Reduces variability in shell elasticity and flexibility
  • Uniform Gelatin Mass Rheology
    Delivers predictable viscosity and gel strength in each batch
    Supports homogeneous mixing and film casting
  • Controlled Moisture Activity
    Maintains steady water activity without over-softening or drying
    Minimizes impact of humidity variations during production
  • Reduced Plasticizer Migration
    Lowers material waste, consistent film properties.
    Reduces indirect cost of rework, reprocessing, and machine wear and tear.
    Longer capsule shelf life reduces product returns and repackaging costs.
  • Resistance to Cross-Linking & Aging
    Lower risk of reactive degradation or hard shell formation over time
    Ensures long-term physical and dissolution stability
  • Enhanced Process Repeatability
    Consistent thermal and rheological behaviour supports reproducible process parameters
    Improves sealing, drying, and shell thickness control across batches
Sorbiplast is a pharmaceutical excipient that acts as a plasticizer, typically provided as a sorbitol sorbitan solution used in soft gelatin capsule formulations.

Sorbiplast excipient consists mainly of sorbitol, a polyol that imparts the necessary flexibility and elasticity to capsule shells.
Sorbiplast functions as a high-efficiency plasticizer, improving the softness, flexibility, and tensile strength of soft gelatin capsule shells.

The sorbitol sorbitan solution helps maintain uniform shell quality and prevents hardening or cracking over time, contributing to consistent product performance in softgel capsules.
Sorbiplast excipient is primarily used in soft gelatin capsule (softgel) formulations to enhance shell flexibility and stability.

The sorbitol sorbitan solution is suitable for a range of softgel products, including those containing oils, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and lipid-based drug compounds, where the mechanical resilience of the shell is important.
Sorbiplast excipient from Gangwal Healthcare is manufactured under stringent GMP conditions and complies with major pharmacopeial references such as USP-NF and IH, with regulatory support such as DMF, EXCiPAT, WHO-GMP, Kosher, and Halal.

This ensures consistent quality, reliable performance as a plasticizer in softgel shells, and robust support for global regulatory requirements across pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets.
