Crystallization Inhibitors

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.

Crystallization inhibition is an important factor to maintain drug solubility and bioavailability out of solid and liquid dosage forms in particular. Before it can be adsorbed, recrystallization can happen at any point in time after formulation, during storage or administration, causing bioavailability to plummet and a consequent loss of medication efficacy. 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, i.e. our low molecular weight povidones Kollidon® 12 PF and Kollidon® 17 PF or our Kollicoat® MAE 100-55.

Discover our range of crystallization inhibitors for softgels

Kollidon® 12 PF

Low-molecular grade Kollidon®, intended for use as solubilizing agent, dispersant and crystallization inhibitor particularly for injectables. In addition applicable as pore former in solid dosage forms and viscosity enhancer in parenterals.

Kollidon® 17 PF

Low-molecular grade Kollidon®, intended for use as solubilizing agent, dispersant and crystallization inhibitor, particularly for injectables. In addition applicable as pore former in solid dosage forms and viscosity enhancer in parenterals.

Kollidon® 30

Our medium-molecular povidone is used in endless ways in pharmaceutical formulations - as binder, pore former, stabilizer, thickener, as solubilizing agent, crystallization inhibitor and many more. And with our trusted quality, it will always serve exactly what you intended it for.

Kollidon® 90 F

A highly effective binder, for use as a stabilizer in oral and topical suspensions, as a thickener, and as a hydrophilizing agent or pore-forming agent in medical plastics.

Kollidon® VA64

Kollidon® VA64 is used in granulation and as a dry binder in tablets, capsules and granules, as a film-forming agent in tablet coatings and subcoatings, and as a film-forming agent in topical sprays. Soluble copovidone widely used for instant release formulation and is suitable in hot-melt extrusion processes.
