VitiPure HCO

VitiPure HCO is obtained by hydrogenation of castor oil. Hydrogenated castor oil is vegetable origin (castor oil) and is hydrophobic in nature. VitiPure HCO is in powder form intended for solid oral and topical use. At room temperature it is a fine milled solid powder with a high melting point (>80°C). In solid oral dose formulations, VitiPure HCO is applied as hydrophobic lubricant and as sustained release agent in solid oral formulations. In topical preparations, VitiPure HCO is used as viscosity enhancer and as consistency factor.

Benefits
  • Manufactured according to IPEC GMP
  • Complies to EP and USP
  • Consistent particle size (d50~ 20 µm) distribution, ideal as tablet lubricant where hydrophobic lubricant is desired.
  • Ideal for direct compression and dry granulation process
