Kolliphor^® PS 20

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 selection of oils, emulsifiers, viscosity enhancers and solvents to equip the formulator to be able to produce a wide range of lotions, creams and gel emulsions.

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.

BASF offers a broad selection of matrix builders, sensory modifiers and solvents to equip you to be able to produce a wide range of topcial gels.

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.

BASF offers an extensive portfolio of excipients for topical formulations enabling you to create the ideal skin delivery solution for ointment formulation. We are committed to maintaining the highest level of quality. Our range of solubilizers and penetration enhancers support effective delivery of the target API - the number-one priority when designing any dermatological product.
