High purity silica excipient with a wide range of particle sizes and porosity options
Using SOLESPHERE™ high purity silica particles as excipients can add multiple performance improvements including:
Long-term stabilization: SOLESPHERE silica helps maintain the stability of drugs over time, protecting active ingredients from moisture issues and preventing caking in the processing stage.
Powdering liquids: SOLESPHERE silica has a remarkably high absorption capacity, enabling liquids to be easily encapsulated into powders. Oil absoption rates can reach 400 mL/100g.
Enhance properties of active ingredients: SOLESPHERE silica can enhance therapeutic properties. With its wide range of particle and pore sizes, it can function as a time-release agent.
Processing aid: SOLESPHERE particles have excellent flowability, which enhances viscocity and improves the processability of powder formulations. Their narrow size distribution provides uniform dosage of the final product.
Why SOLESPHERE silica?
- High pore volume, high surface area, enabling a small volume of SOLESPHERE particles to carry large amounts of active ingredients.
- Great angle of repose, achieving superior flowability in manufacturing processes
- High moisture absorption capacity, protecting active ingredients from moisture issues.
- Uniform spherical shape with narrow particle size distribution
- High purity fine silica
- Particle sizes: 3 - 20 μm (wide range of choices to control flowability)
- Oil absorption capacity: 150-400mL/100g
- Uniform particle size distribution
- Recognized by several certifications including ISO9001, HALAL and Kosher, FDA.
- Excipients for tablets and capsules
- Additive
