Our Platforms – Your Access to BASFs Solution Offer
BASF has been committed to the pharmaceutical industry since we introduced our original Kollidon® in the early 20th century. Since then we have continuously expanded our solution offer. Today we solve unmet formulation needs and offer intelligent solutions for today and tomorrow’s challenges in drug formulation. Our dedicated solution platforms based on current pharmaceutical market needs help you to find what you are looking for.
Instant & Modified Release
Ensuring the precision you need – every time.
BASF’s broad portfolio of functional excipients for instant and modified release dosage forms allows for a wide range of formulation possibilities, enabling you to obtain your target release properties.
Our committment to functional excipients began eighty years ago with our invention of PVP (Kollidon® 30), one of the most widely used excipients for formulating oral solid dosage pharmaceuticals. We have continued the tradition of innovation, which has expanded our portfolio to include multifunctional excipients such as Kollicoat® IR, Kollidon® VA64 and Ludiflash®. Our products reflect our dedication to highly effective, reliable, and resource-efficient solutions that help you confidently design the dosage form that you need.
