The CAS number of Croscarmellose Sodium is 74811-65-7. Its molecular formula is (C₈H₁₁NaO₇)ₙ and its molecular weight is Polymer (cross-linked, insoluble).

Croscarmellose Sodium (CAS 74811-65-7) is also sold as Croscarmellose Na, cross-linked CMC-Na, internally cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose, E468. Please mention the CAS number in your enquiry so we quote the right material.

We supply pharmaceutical-grade Croscarmellose Sodium to USP-NF, Ph. Eur., BP and IP standards, as stated on the COA. Particle-size and degree-of-substitution requirements can be matched on request.

Croscarmellose Sodium (CAS 74811-65-7) is the cross-linked, water-insoluble form of carboxymethylcellulose. It is different from sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC, which dissolves and is used as a thickener and binder) and from other superdisintegrants such as sodium starch glycolate and crospovidone.

Typically 20–25 kg polyethylene-lined bags or fibre drums, with smaller packs for trials. Packs are sealed against moisture and labelled for safe transport.

The minimum order depends on packing and current stock. We handle everything from a few bags or small packs for trials and lab qualification up to full container loads.

Store in tightly closed, lined bags or drums in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sun. Reseal opened packs promptly, as the powder is hygroscopic.

Croscarmellose Sodium is not classified as hazardous, but like any fine organic powder it can form combustible dust clouds and irritate eyes and airways. Use dust control and follow the SDS.

Yes. We export from the UAE to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, East and West Africa, South Asia and other markets on EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF, DAP or DDP terms, subject to the import rules of each destination.

Yes. Samples are available for qualification on request, together with the COA and SDS, so your QC or R&D team can approve the material before a commercial order.

Typical use levels are about 0.5–5% w/w, commonly around 2% in direct compression and 3% in wet granulation. The optimum depends on your API, tablet hardness and dissolution target, so confirm with your own trials.

No. It is insoluble in water but swells rapidly to several times its volume, and that swelling is what breaks the tablet apart.
