This ultra-high viscosity gelatin (6-9 mPa·s) delivers optimal rheological properties for softgel encapsulation, forming hermetic elastic shells with rapid disintegration, meeting ISO, FDA, Halal, and GMP standards.
High-viscosity gelatin for softgel capsule manufacturing
Ultra-high viscosity gelatin is engineered specifically for softgel capsule production. With viscosity values of 6-9 mPa·s and bloom strength of 180-220g, it provides the optimal rheological properties for seamless encapsulation. The gelatin forms a strong, elastic and hermetically sealed capsule shell that protects active ingredients while ensuring rapid disintegration and bioavailability.
Core benefits of ultra-high viscosity softgel gelatin
Viscosity values of 6-9 mPa·s provide optimal rheological properties for softgel encapsulation.
Forms hermetically sealed capsule shells that protect active ingredients from oxidation and moisture.
Creates strong, elastic capsule shells with excellent mechanical properties for handling and transport.
Ensures rapid disintegration and bioavailability of active ingredients in the gastrointestinal tract.
