Evonik solutions for pharmaceutical semi-solid dosage forms
- Rheology control
- Viscosity adjustment
- Stabilization of dispersions and emulsions
- Thermal stability
AEROSIL® Pharma products are proven, safe and versatile pharmaceutical excipients for semi-solid dosage forms such as pharmaceutical creams, lotions, ointments, gels and suppositories. Their main function is controlling rheology and helping to stabilize semi-solid dosage forms against thermal degradation.
These special silica are used as thickening agents in creams or viscous gels. Guaranteeing equal distribution of the active ingredient, these thickening and stabilizing properties are also beneficial when manufacturing active ingredient dermal patches and 3D-printed medicines.
AEROSIL® Pharma grades also provide thermal stability to prevent ointments and suppositories, for example, from becoming too soft in warm environments.
Safety and quality according to GMP guidelines
All AEROSIL® Pharma products are manufactured according to the International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council’s (IPEC) GMP guidelines for bulk pharmaceutical excipients. Every lot is tested and certified according to compendial methods. Full traceability of all raw materials and production conditions and stringent observance of hygiene protocols during bag filling are guaranteed. These products undergo testing for compliance with several pharmaceutical monographs, ensuring consistent high quality for your pharmaceutical products.
