Environmental Care of Silicones for Release Coating

Sustained Release Multiparticulates via Powder Coating

Hydrophobic grade fumed silicas are generally used in tabletting as lubricants. They are also found to retard the release of pharmaceutical actives. This is because of their hydrophobic nature, which gives good cohesive and adhesive properties. considering this point it was thought that they could be used as dry coating agents for solid dosages forms. The model drug selected for this work was p...

Silicones for Resin Modification

Silicones for Medical Use

that every single material derived from silicon chemistry seems extremely modern. Silicon occurs naturally in sand and rocks, generally in the form of silica and silicate, and is the second most abundant element on earth after oxygen. Only crystalline silicon and the silanes and organosiloxanes are truly modern products: they do not occur freely in nature, but are entirely the product of human ...

Silicones as Alternatives to Hydrocarbons in Personal Care Formulations

The use of silicones in personal care products has been expanding rapidly. A significant portion of this increased use has been in place of hydrocarbons. For at least 15 years, silicones have been incorporated into personal care products as a partial replacement or improvement additive for several classes of organic compounds traditionally used as ingredients in cosmetics and toiletries. This m...
