: Our surfactants can be used in pharmaceutical products due to their strict adherence to the highest safety standards. We also develop DDS (Drug Delivery System) technology, provide ingredients to improve the solubility of hard-to-dissolve active ingredients and offer consultation to solve various problems related to the formulation and production of modern pharmaceutical products.

Pharmaceutical Surfactants
■General-Use: Increase the transdermal absorption and solubility of pharmaceutical agents, as well as increasing the hydrophilicity of oil bases used in ointments and patches.
NIKKOL DGMO-CV, NIKKOL WAX-230
■Oral Applications: Dispersants, lubricants, binders, diluents, disintegrant agents, coating agents for pills, along with other emulsifiers and solubilizers used for capsules, emulsions, and other liquids forms.
