Kollisolv® composed of both hydrophilic and lipophilic excipients, the Kollisolv® portfolio of excipients is focused on addressing API solubility challenges. Available in liquids, semi-solids, and solids, these solubilizers and solvents are primarily used for oral and topical applications.

TYLOPUR® is a versatile hypromellose, compliant with USP, JP, EP. The low viscosity grades are especially suitable for the design of film-coated tablet formulations. In addition, TYLOPUR® is effective as a binder, since it does not interact with drugs. It has superior stability, a non-ionic character and is widely used as a binder for granulation. Due to its plant derived nature and excellent moisture stability, TYLOPUR® replaces gelatin in hard capsule manufacturing.

Kolliphor® grades are used in oral, topical, and parenteral dosage forms, these excipients simplify the formulation process by exerting their versatile functionalities. The Kolliphor® family of solubilizers, emulsifiers, co-emulsifiers, and surfactants are ideal for addressing solubilization challenges to inhibit crystallization and enhance drug bioavailability.

Soluplus® Offers outstanding solubilization properties, this novel excipient is ideal for poorly soluble APIs. It is applicable for oral solid dosage forms, topical polymeric films, transdermal patches, and solutions.

The unique cocoa powders of JS are highly defatted and near 100% fiber solids. Applied in bakery and confectionery, ice cream and dairy as well as in low caloric health products. Ensuring high intense coloring and dispersibility in liquid is exceptionally good. Due to less fat, a mild alkalization still results in a strong intrinsic color impact without requirements to label alkali (under 7%). 

Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. began to produce water soluble cellulose ethers in 1962, with the trade name METOLOSE®. METOLOSE® consists of Methylcellulose (methylcellulose USP) and three substitution types of Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (Hypromellose USP) each available in several grades differing in viscosity. METOLOSE® can be used as a binder for solid dosage forms such as tablets and granules. It also provides a variety of functions such as water retention, thickening, protective colloid, surface activity, etc. It also can be used as a hydrophilic matrix agent. The hydrophilic matrix system is the simplest sustained release technology for oral dosage forms, consisting essentially of a drug and a water soluble highly viscous polymer. Recent advances in this hydrophilic matrix system have allowed more controllable and reproducible drug release by controlling the chemical and physical properties of the polymer. METOLOSE® SR is especially suitable for this application, and provides a genuine consistency in the final products.

The Versastique product line is a multi-functional material that provides formulators a better way to formulate through simplified creation of functional and esthetic solid stick applications. Based on what you want to create, this guide can get you started toward your customized product. The Versastique product line is a range of multi-functional materials that provides a better way to formulate through simplified creation of functional and esthetic solid stick applications. With translucent and clear stick properties, Versastique is ideal for natural, mineral and synthetic ingredients in suncare products.

Dissolvine® chelates form strong, water-soluble complexes that prevent undesirable precipitation, dissolve scale deposits and optimize oxidation processes. Our chelate product range includes chelating agents that bind and control metal ions, as well as metal chelates that introduce the right form of metal ions into a product or process.

Sokalan® range comprises dispersing agents that are used to eliminate or reduce the impact of water hardness ions during the application of the detergent or cleaning formulation. State-of-the-art laundry formulations consist of sodium polyacrylates, like our Sokalan® types.

Crominex®3+ is a unique trivalent chromium supplement prepared by complexing Chromium III with two natural products, Phyllanthus emblica and Shilajit in order to minimize the conversion of Chromium III to Chromium VI. Crominex®3+ has been clinically studied to be the most efficacious of all the branded Chromium III supplements on the market and, yet, the most economical.

Nonionic surfactant based on a synthetic primary alcohol.

Thanks to our integrated production system with statistical process control and highly efficient reactor dynamics, we produce pyrogenic silica of exceptionally purity. With HDK® you get not only great product performance, but also tailored customer service.

WACKER’s CAVAQ10® is a highly bioavailable coenzyme Q10 powder. This fat-soluble, vitamin-like substance is a known antioxidant. Coenzyme Q10 has been associated with improved cardiovascular health and supporting optimum fuctioning of the cardiac muscle. However, many commercial products do not offer adequate bioavailability. WACKER’s cyclodextrin-encapsulated CAVAQ10® powder, by contrast, has an 18-fold higher bioavailability compared to other CoQ10 products.

Acconon products are well-characterized mixtures of polyoxyethylene mono- and diglycerides, fatty acids or fatty alcohols. In addition to functioning as excellent oil/water emulsifiers, many of these products can add emolliency to creams and lotions. Our line includes alkoxylates based on natural oils such as coconut, castor, and apricot oil.

These polyglycerol esters (PGEs) function as EO-free surfactants and solubilizers in an array of applications because they offer a wide range of HLBs. In addition, they offer other benefits such as: improves texture and consistency, works well to improve flow properties, stabilizes aerated systems by controlling the agglomeration of fat globules, reduces interfacial tension at oil-water boundaries.
