F-MELT - ODT made simpler
F-MELT®, developed by Fuji Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. in Japan, is a directly compressible excipient system for fast Oral Disintegrating Tablets (ODTs).
F-MELT®, a free-flowing granular powder, is produced by co-spray-drying a proprietary formulation of carbohydrates, disintegrants, and inorganic ingredients. Consisting of porous spherical particles, F-MELT® exhibits excellent tabletting properties and facilitates rapid water-penetration for a fast disintegration time.
Features that make F-MELT® Unique:
-
Easy Preparation of ODTs
Compatible with standard tabletting press. -
Directly Compressible
"Off-the-shelf" excipient.In contrast to using wet-granulation and other ODT technologies, it is time-saving and cost-effective.
Highly flowable and less sticking/capping.
Excellent tablet hardness and low friability. -
Oral Disintegrating Time
Typically under 30 seconds. - High API Loads
- Up to 60% API loads possible.
-
Makes Commercial Sense
No royalty and licensing fees required. - Other features:
- cGMP manufactured, pleasant mouth-feel, and neutral pH.
- Grades and Application
- Suitable for Pharmaceutical medicine and nutritional supplements*.
-
Grades: Type C for a faster disintegration time and Type M for better compression.
