Kolliphor® SLS Fine
A widely used ionic solubilizer and high HLB anionic emulsifier that is suitable for application in liquid dispersions, solutions, emulsions and micro-emulsions to formulate tablets, foams and semi-solids such as creams, lotions and gels. Particularily suitable for direct compression.
Kolliphor® SLS, is manufactured by sulfation of the corresponding fatty alcohol of natural origin and subsequent neutralization with sodium hydroxide. The excipient is characterized by a very high active substance matter and a very low content of inorganic salts and unsulfated fatty alcohols. Kolliphor® SLS Fine is extremely efficient throughout the tabletting process by assisting in drug dissolution and aiding water uptake during disintegration of the end formulation.
Why use Kolliphor® SLS?
- Extremely efficient excipient throughout the tabletting process
- Finer particles for more controlled and efficient solubilization
- Widely used ionic solubilizer and high HLB anionic emulsifier
- Additionally suitable as wetting agent or lubricant
- Suitable for solid, semi-solid dosage forms and foams
- Particularily suitable for direct compression
Multiple functionalities for solid and semi-solid dosage forms
Kolliphor® SLS Fine can be used as a solubilizer to enhance the solubility of poorly soluble APIs in both solid and liquid oral dosage forms. Kolliphor® SLS grades are also suitable for semi-solid dosage forms like creams, lotions and gels. Moreover, sodium lauryl sulfate is very broadly used in oral care formulations. The finer particles of Kolliphor® SLS Fine allow a more controlled and efficient solubilization.
Due to improved wettability of the tablet, Kolliphor® SLS Fine can reduce tablet disintegration time. For this application often Kolliphor® SLS Fine is more suitable than Kolliphor® SLS. Kolliphor® SLS Fine offers a combination of good lubrication effect together with improved tablet or capsule disintegration properties and facilitates manufacturing of modern solid dosage forms. It is particularily suitable for direct compression.
Kolliphor® SLS Fine can be used as tablet lubricant if standard lubricants (i.e. magnesium stearate) are incompatible with the formulation. As lubricant the typical usage concentration of Kolliphor® SLS Fine is 2%.
