Pharmaceutical fillers, diluents and binders

Build formulations your way: Rely on Roquette’s fillers, diluents and binders to help you unlock a wide variety of solid dosage forms and processing methods – from tablets and capsules to direct compression and wet granulation.

Fillers for direct compression: Enhance your process

Direct compression is fast becoming the method of choice for drug manufacturers striving for optimal process efficiencies – but true success depends on finding the right ingredients.

At Roquette, we offer an extensive range of products suitable for directly compressed formulations, offering good flowability, excellent compressibility and a specific particle size distribution to ensure uniform mixing. Our starches or starch compounds make swallowable and dispersible delivery forms possible.

Diluents: Increase the volume, keep the potency

Insoluable diluents

Our range of starches or partially pregelatinized starches, including sorbitol, mannitol and maltitol, are prized for their physicochemical stability and superior organoleptic properties.
