Description

General description

When working on a pharmaceutical formulation, there are specific considerations to make and challenging hurdles to take before you can successfully launch your final drug product - formulation stability, release kinetics and bioavailability limitations just to name a few. With our application know-how and regulatory expertise, we support you in every step of development, scale-up, and production.

As part of our Emprove^® Program, our raw materials are offered with extensive documentation facilitating compliance of your pharma and biopharma product, full supply chain transparency and risk mitigation. Our SAFC^® portfolio of high-quality products for biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical formulation and production withstands strict quality control procedures and is produced according to applicable cGMP guidelines.

Application

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a multipurpose polymer which can be applied in solid, semi-solid and liquid formulations. Its broad functional spectrum includes e.g. improvement of API solubility, acting as a lubricant for tablet coating, function as a carrier, and many more. Our comprehensive portfolio of PEGs comprises diverse polymer sizes of different molecular weights to meet your specific application and needs. Due to its low microbial and endotoxin limits, PEG 3350 Emprove^® Expert is especially suitable for high-risk applications.
