Table of Contents
1. Product Overview
Hydroxypropyl Starch (CAS 9049-76-7) is a modified starch derivative engineered for enhanced solubility, stability, and performance in industrial and pharmaceutical applications. Key specifications include:
- CAS Number: 9049-76-7
- Appearance: White to off-white powder
- Solubility: Soluble in cold water, forms clear viscous solutions
- Moisture Content: ≤14%
- pH (10% solution): 5.0-7.5
- Storage: Store in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight
2. Applications of Hydroxypropyl Starch
This multifunctional additive serves critical roles across industries:
- Pharmaceuticals: Tablet binder, disintegrant, and viscosity modifier in liquid formulations
- Food Industry: Thickener, stabilizer, and texture enhancer in sauces, dressings, and baked goods
- Cosmetics: Rheology modifier in creams, lotions, and hair care products
- Industrial: Adhesive component in paper coatings and biodegradable packaging
3. Usage Guidelines
- Dispersion: Gradually sprinkle powder into cold water under constant agitation
- Hydration: Allow 20-30 minutes for complete hydration and viscosity development
- Concentration: Typical use levels range from 0.5% to 5% depending on application
- Compatibility: Test compatibility with other formulation components prior to scale-up
Note: Avoid excessive heat (>90°C) to prevent viscosity breakdown
4. Detailed Use Cases
Pharmaceutical Tablet Manufacturing
At 2-4% concentration, hydroxypropyl starch acts as both binder and disintegrant in direct compression tablet formulations. A recent formulation study demonstrated 30% faster disintegration times compared to standard binders.
Food-Grade Sauce Production
Used at 1.2% in reduced-fat dressings, it provides equivalent mouthfeel to full-fat formulations while improving freeze-thaw stability by 40%.
Eco-Friendly Adhesive Formulation
Combined with natural polymers at 8-12% loading, creates biodegradable adhesives with 85% reduced VOC emissions compared to synthetic alternatives.
