Excipients

BASF offers pharmaceutical companies a wide variety of excipients for making successful drugs from active ingredients with tremendous potential. In this way, the product spectrum fulfils all functional and regulatory requirements in regard to excipients for the production of tablets, sprays or drops – no matter how fast or where in the body the active ingredient is to be released, whether it tastes bitter or is hardly soluble. An example: Polymers from the Kollicoat® family act as a coating which protects the active ingredient inside tablets and makes them easier to take.

Moreover, BASF excipients are also suitable for entirely practical needs: They ensure that active ingredients can be processed well. Binders and disintegrants from the Kollidon® family optimize the mechanical properties of tablets while ensuring a more rapid release of the active ingredient at the same time.

Customers throughout the world appreciate this high degree of product functionality combined with our competent service. Furthermore, we also work towards improving existing drug formulations or new and beneficial therapeutic systems. We therefore attach considerable importance to the concentrated and continuous development of new excipients, while extending the application fields of products already available.
