Kolliwax® SA

Description

As lipophilic lubricant Kolliwax^® SA is the first choice for sensitive acidic APIs. It is commonly also used as viscosity regulator for oil-in-water emulsions and as a pH independent sustained release agent. Kolliwax^® SA acts as a plasticizer with included consistency factor in solid dispersions. It hardens suppository formulations and adjust their melting points.

Why choose Kolliwax^® SA?

• Fully approved pharmaceutical-grade excipient – for your peace of mind
• Pasticizer with included consistency factor functionality
• Lipophilic lubricant and the first choice for sensitive acidic APIs
• Viscosity regulator with a higher melting point
• Guaranteed performance across a wide variety of applications
• Innovative solutions for better, more stable formulations

Major Applications of Kolliwax^® SA

Emulsions: Kolliwax^® grades can be used for all kinds of topical pharmaceutical applications such as gels, lotions and creams. All Kolliwax^® grades act as consistency factors and co-emulsifiers at the same time. With their amphiphilic structure they will stabilize the surface between oil and water and will help to enhance the viscosity with building up a liquid crystalline network in the water-phase (lamellar structure). Kolliwax^® SA is able to stabilize W/O and O/W emulsion and will help top create a unique softness and creaminess in the end application. Kolliwax^® SA is mainly used as structure-building consistency factor for semi-solids such as creams, emulsions, ointments and gels as well as a viscosity regulator with a higher melting point.

Lubrication: Kolliwax^® SA is a lipophilic lubricant and the first choice for sensitive acidic APIs. As solid lubricant it is suitable for direct compression, wet granulation and roll compaction of tablets and capsules.

Plasticizer: In solid dispersions, Kolliwax^® SA also acts as plasticizer with an included consistency factor functionality. It is suitable for melt granulation, spray drying and hot melt extrusion (HME) processes.

Suppository masses: Suppository formulations can be hardened and adjusted in their melting point by the addition of Kolliwax^® SA.
