Pharmaceuticals Solutions
Our specialty Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) solutions help pharmaceutical manufacturers overcome key challenges in drug formulation and production. From improving solubility and stability of difficult APIs, enabling controlled release and enhanced bioavailability, to serving as binders and lubricants that reduce tablet sticking and improve processing efficiency—our PEG grades deliver proven performance.
Fully compliant with USP/NF and Ph. Eur. standards, they also ensure regulatory confidence while providing patient-friendly benefits such as moisture retention and smoother textures in creams, ointments, and oral formulations.
Formulation Flexibility
Can be tuned into solid, liquid, or semi-solid with desired viscosity and melt points
Moisture Control
Attracts and retains water → boosts hydration in creams, ointments, and lotions
Solubilization & Dispersion
Improves stability and compatibility of difficult-to-dissolve ingredients
Biodegradable & Safe
Many grades are readily biodegradable and pharma/food approved
Regulatory Compliance
Meets USP/NF and Ph. Eur. standard, thus reducing approval risks
Non toxic & Environmentally safe
Non-toxic, water-soluble, environmentally safer solvent alternative.
