AEROSIL® 200 VV Pharma is colloidal silicon dioxide or silica obtained synthetically from silicon tetrachloride under high temperature and subsequently engineered to have a higher tapped density and reduced dusting while retaining the performance attributes of regular colloidal anhydrous silica, such as AEROSIL® 200 Pharma.
AEROSIL® 200 VV Pharma is supplied as a white, and fine powder. It is approved for and widely used as an excipient in oral solid dose pharmaceutical formulations.
Features
- Synthetic material, high purity and excipient grade raw material
- Densified for reduced dust (tapped density of 120 g/l)
- Excellent glidant for tablet, capsules and powder formulations
Benefits
- Desiccant in moisture-sensitive formulations. Can be used to aid long-term stability
- Small particle size and large specific surface area is advantageous as flow aid for dry powders in tabletting and capsule filling
- Improves tablet hardness during compaction
- Excellent flow characteristics in powders
Applications
- AEROSIL® 200 VV Pharma is mainly used in pharmaceuticals as a glidant and anti-caking agent
- It can also be added to suppository formulations containing lipophilic excipients to increase viscosity, prevent sedimentation during moulding, and decrease the release rate.
