Health Care Excipients - Solubilizers for High-Risk Applications


In recent years, the number of sensitive pharmaceutical drug delivery systems approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has increased significantly and is expected to increase further as the overall drug market expands and new therapies for both chronic and rare diseases enter the pipeline.

How can Clariant help you to get a solution for these kinds of formulations? We offer a wide range of low bioburden and low elemental impurities excipients for sensitive APIs and formulations:

  • PEGs
  • PEG-Derivatives

With these extended product specifications, Clariant can assist you in creating your individual formulation risk assessment.

  • VitiPure CO 35 Superior
    VitiPure CO 35 Superior is a non-ionic solubilizer and emulsifying agent for human and veterinary pharmaceutical markets. It is manufactured by ethoxylating castor oil in a molar ratio of 1:35. VitiPure CO 35 Superior is then purified with a patented process to reduce residual impurities yielding transparent almost colorless oily liquid which forms clear solutions in water. Typically used in sensitive applications where final formulations need to be colorless, or the API is sensitive to residual impurities. And where the end formulation needs to have low microbial load with low endotoxins.
