Tablet binding compositions

摘要

Provided are tablet binding compositions for binding cleaning and/or disinfecting formulation components into tablets. The tablet binding compositions are suitable replacements for traditional tablet binder compounds, such as boric acid or zeolites. The tablet binding compositions provided herein can produce tablets of increased hardness at lower compression forces and, when dissolved, yield solutions of increased clarity compared to some traditional binder compounds. Also provided are processes for preparing the tablet binding compositions and methods for formation of tablets containing the tablet binding compositions.

1. A method of producing a tablet containing a component, comprising:
combining the component with a tablet binder composition that comprises:
an acetate salt having a particle size greater than 200 μm in an amount from 15% to about 85% by weight of the composition; anda C6 saccharide derivative sequestrant having a particle size greater than 200 μm in an amount from about 15% to about 85% by weight of the composition, wherein the C6 saccharide derivative sequestrant is an amino hexose, a hexitol, an aldonic acid, an aldonic acid lactone, a hexose-delta-lactone, or a saccharic acid or a salt of any of these compounds or a combination thereof,wherein:
the ratio of the acetate salt to the C6 saccharide derivative sequestrant is in the range of about 5:1 to about 1:5; andthe composition binds together ingredients in a tablet after application of a compression force; mixing the tablet binder composition and the component to produce a uniform mix; depositing the uniform mix into a press mold; and applying a compression force to compress the mix to produce a tablet.
