Solid oral dosage forms are coated to apply a range of functions: from attractive colored instant-release coatings or robust taste-masking to functional coatings defining enteric or sustained release. BASF offers all major coating types plus as well as plasticizers for your successful coating formulation.

Crystallization inhibition is an important factor to maintain drug solubility and bioavailability out of solid and liquid dosage forms in particular. BASF offers a range of well established crystallization inhibitors that ensure that your drug will not get lost on its way to the point of action in the body.

Hot-melt extrusion has been used in the plastics & food industries for decades. In the 1980s, BASF became the first company to apply it to the production of pharmaceuticals for enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble actives. Today, HME is an accepted process for creating solid dispersions of APIs.

Melt granulation is a great process option in a formulators' biovailability enhancement arsenal. A meltable binder is used to agglomerate drug and other ingredients to reduce recrystallization potential through separation. BASF offer all functional materials required for a successful formulation using melt granulation.

BASF offers a broad portfolio of functional excipients suitable for physical mixing processes.

Spray drying is an established technology in the pharmaceutical industry to create amorphous, soluble forms of active ingredients. Key for a successful process is the use of the right functional polymer to ensure a stable solid dispersion. BASF offers a wide range of functional polymers to choose from, along with all other excipients typically used in the formulation.

BASF offers a broad portfolio for veterinary industry needs, including vitamins, Omega 3 and excipients with high quality and safety for the animals.

For our parenteral excipients we provide comprehensive documentation including toxicological assessments, regulatory & quality packages, certificates and more.

BASF offers wide range of excipients for topical formulations enabling you to create the ideal skin delivery solution for your foam formulation. By extensively analyzing, refining and enhancing the sensorial effects of each ingredient class, we can help you to create products that increase patient compliance. We are committed to maintaining the highest level of quality. At the same time, we have focused on improving the mildness of formulations. Our range of solubilizers support effective delivery of the target API – the number-one priority when designing any dermatological product.

A common way to improve the solubility of active ingredients is to formulate them in a liquid form - i.e. dispersion, solution, suspension or emulsion. Although each approach has its differences, they all share the need for functional excipients. BASF offers a comprehensive range of trusted functional excipients to make them work.

BASFs rich portfolio of instant and modified release solutions offers an unprecedented range of functionality.

The perfect solution for every skincare challenge.

Functional solutions for all soft gel parts – fill, shell and coating.

Effective solubilization in solid & liquid dosage forms.

At BASF we offer a comprehensive range of high quality functional excipients, vitamins and omega-3 fish oils to support you in finding the right capsule fill for your formulation needs. This unique combination of products builds a bridge between dietary supplement and pharmaceutical products.
