AEROSIL® Pharma: the industry standard glidant
AEROSIL® Pharma is the industry standard glidant. As an anti-caking and free-flow agent, it makes processing all kinds of powdered products or mixtures in tableting equipment easier and increases production throughput. High-speed tablet presses require optimal powder flow from the mixer to the tableting machine. It is essential for continuous and sustainable manufacturing. AEROSIL® Pharma also improves resistance to mechanical stresses in the manufacturing process. Another important effect of silica as a pharmaceutical excipient is precise dosing and homogeneous distribution of active ingredients (APIs) in each tablet or capsule.
As a mesoporous carrier, AEROPERL® Pharma is used to incorporate liquids and solutions with micronized solids, improving the dissolution of poorly soluble APIs.
All in all, AEROSIL® and AEROPERL® Pharma colloidal silicon dioxide contributes to increased productivity with consistent product quality.
