  • PEARLITOL® mannitol is used as a filler and filler/binder as well as a bulk sweetener. The PEARLITOL® range offers a unique blend of exceptional physical and chemical stability and no hygroscopicity. With great organoleptic, non-cariogenic and sugar-free properties, PEARLITOL® is suitable to be used in formulations addressing various patient populations including pediatric and diabetic.
  • LYCATAB® DSH maltodextrin is a high-performance wet granulation binder. It is completely soluble in cold water and has excellent wettability. These characteristics make it a versatile excipient for most granulation equipment and for binder incorporation (in the dry mix or as a binder solution).
