Pharmaceuticals

Boron Minerals

Used in pharmaceuticals for their potential health benefits, including improving bone density and cognitive function. Boron compounds may be found in nutritional supplements.

HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose)

A polymer used as a binder, film-former, and viscosity-increasing agent. It's particularly valuable in controlled-release formulations and as a vegetarian capsule alternative.

EC (Ethyl Cellulose)

Serves as a film former and thickener, often used in the coating of tablets or granules to control drug release rates.

Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC)

A widely used excipient that acts as a filler/binder in tablet formulations, contributing to the tablet's structure and stability without interfering with the drug's efficacy.

HPC (Hydroxypropyl Cellulose)

Employed as a binder, disintegrant, and film-former in tablet coatings. It's soluble in both water and alcohol, offering flexibility in pharmaceutical applications.

Dextrin

Used as a binder in tablet formulations and as a carrier for drug delivery systems. It helps in the stabilization of suspensions and as a filler in capsules.

Pregelatinized Starch

Acts as a disintegrant, binder, and filler in tablet and capsule formulations. It enhances the solubility and bioavailability of active ingredients.

Gastric Soluble Film Coating Powder

Designed to dissolve in the stomach, this coating allows for the rapid release and absorption of the drug where pH levels are acidic.

Enteric Soluble Film Coating Powder

Provides a protective layer for tablets, ensuring the drug is released in the intestines rather than the stomach, suitable for drugs that are sensitive to stomach acid or can irritate the gastric lining.

Sodium Bicarbonate

Used as an antacid in pharmaceuticals, it neutralizes stomach acid and is often combined with other medications to adjust pH, enhancing the solubility and stability of certain drugs.

CMC (Carboxymethyl Cellulose)

A thickener and stabilizer in oral suspensions and emulsions. It's also used as a film-forming agent in tablet coatings.

Zinc Chloride

Utilized in dental products and as an astringent in topical medications. It has applications in nutritional supplements as well.

Glycerin

Serves as a humectant, solvent, and plasticizer in pharmaceutical formulations, improving the texture and stability of topical, oral, and injectable products.

Acetone

Used as a solvent in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the extraction and purification of APIs and other ingredients.

Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)

Included in vitamin supplements and used as an antioxidant in various pharmaceutical formulations to prevent the oxidation of active ingredients.

Sodium Metabisulfite

Acts as an antioxidant in pharmaceutical formulations, protecting sensitive components from oxidation and degradation.

Formaldehyde

Used in the sterilization of equipment and manufacturing of certain vaccines and APIs, albeit under strict regulatory compliance due to its toxicity.

IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol)

A solvent and disinfectant used in the manufacturing process of pharmaceuticals and for cleaning and sanitizing equipment.

Manganese Sulfate

Included in nutritional supplements for its essential role in bone formation, enzyme function, and wound healing.

Magnesium Carbonate

Used as a filler in tablets, as an antacid, and as a color retention agent in vitamin supplements.
