Kollidon® grades are processed via melt granulation, spray drying, and HME, these materials are suitable for a variety of formulations. Whether the target formulation is a tablet or transdermal patch, the Kollidon® family of multifunctional excipients is ready to resolve any formulation challenge. Kollidon® excipients come in various grades, giving you the flexibility to tailor your formulation based on your individual needs.

BASF offers the widest range of IPEC-GMP lipid-based excipients, suitable for topical  and oral drug formulations. We are committed to providing high quality products supported  by best-in-class Regulatory, Quality, and Technical teams. We value sustainability and are  the first major supplier to offer 100% RSPO certified lipid-based excipients. The Kolliwax® product line is an extensive portfolio of structuring agents that provide formulation stability.  These excipients can be used in the development of numerous oral and topical dosage forms.

Versagel® is an innovative patented system for thickening and gelling hydrocarbon materials. Infinite number of customized rheological properties. Clear colorless hydrophobic thermally reversible without syneresis. Versagel technology is used in thousands of cosmetic, pharmaceutical and personal care products around the world.

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.

Kollicoat® polymers can also be used for taste masking to improve patient compliance. While these excipients are predominantly used for oral applications, coating polymers can also be utilized for the development of topical films and transdermal patches as film and matrix formers, respectively. The Kollicoat® family of coating polymers consists of a broad range of chemistries to address various film coating challenges.

Sugar Spheres SANAQ® are neutral pellets made of Sucrose and maize starch according to the monographies for “Sugar Spheres” – NF, Ph. Eur. and JP. The almost spherical cores are used as a neutral basis for the production of Pellets loaded with API.

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.

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.

All Ibuprofen grades are supplied as white or almost white crystalline powder or colorless crystals with a characteristic odor.

BIOGRUND’s ready-to-use printing ink BonuPrint™ is a fine, homogenous, liquid pigment dispersion for solid oral dosage forms, available as an organic or aqueous solution. Protect your product against counterfeiting by printing your logo, brand name or barcode onto the tablet. Furthermore it increases the safety of patients by making it easier to distinguish between different tablets and capsules.

CAPMUL® multi-functional, high purity monoesters provide superior skin penetration and emolliency with excellent effects against microorganisms. Certain grades of CAPMUL® may be used to inhibit the growth of gram positive and negative bacteria, yeast, and mold in many "preservative free" products. They are used to produce stable emulsions, to modify viscosity and they can act as carriers and vehicles in selected applications.

TYLOPUR ClearCoat Nutra® is a plant derived, water soluble ingredient (low viscous hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, HPMC) that has been developed by Shin-Etsu as a natural and easy-to-use material for film coating of nutraceutical and nutritional supplement tablets. It can be quickly dissolved in water at room temperature and does not require any additional ingredients for a successful coating. TYLOPUR ClearCoat Nutra® provides an excellent finish, that can protect tablets from humidity and reduces their overall friability during packaging. Moreover, coating with TYLOPUR ClearCoat Nutra® can improve the mouth feel and swallowability for consumers. Additionally, TYLOPUR ClearCoat Nutra® is recommended for wet granulation to improve particle size, powder flow and compressibility of nutraceutical actives.

NEOBEE® is a caprylic/capric triglyceride. It is made using glycerin from vegetable oil sources and medium-chain fatty acids from coconut or palm kernel oil.

XYLISORB® Xylitol sugar-free sweetener with a high cooling effect.
