Tablet binder avoids peroxide formation

BASF’s Kollicoat is a binder designed to avoid peroxide formation

The formulation of peroxide sensitive active ingredients (API) is often subject to peroxide-induced deterioration.

Reformulation or repacking of existing APIs for increased patient compliance often faces the issue of potential peroxide interaction caused by the binder used.

Kollicoat IR has instant release coating functionality that is used as tablet binder.

BASF has said that Kollicoat has a strong binding performance yet no peroxide formation.
