Pharma ingredients
Excipients
Excipients are inactive but functional ingredients used when processing APIs into finished medicinal products, each serving a specific purpose (e.g. binder, disintegrant or pH adjustment) for the proper performance of the dosage form.
Our product portfolio
We offer a broad portfolio of excipients, covering all dosage forms including tablet, capsule, syrup, granules, spray, injection, infusion, inhaler, ointment, gel, suppository and others.
- Main excipients
- Functional excipients
- Co-processed excipients
- Biological excipients
Solid
More info >>
Lubricants/glidants: improve the flow and tableting process –
Filler/diluents: increase volume, making tablets manageable –
Coatings: protect from moisture, pleasant taste, control dissolution –
Disintegrants: make tablets disintegrate (faster) – Binders: “glue” the different tablet components together – Solubilizers: improve drug solubility to be effective
Semi-solid
More info >>
Preservatives: prevent microbial growth and maintain product integrity during storage –
Antioxidants: protect the formulation from oxidative degradation – Humectants: maintain humidity in the preparation and prevent drying – Gelling agents: help to provide the desired viscosity and stability –
Emulsifiers: stabilize the emulsion and ensure uniform distribution
Liquid
More info >>
Buffering agents: maintain the pH of the formulation – Solubilizing agents:
improve the solubility of poorly soluble APIs – Stabilizers: protect API from degradation or oxidation – Antioxidants: protect the API from oxidative degradation – Surfactants: reduce the surface tension between the formulation and the container
– Solvents: solubilize API
