Pharmaceutical industry
Consistent high quality driven by continuous improvement
Highest international standards
We produce a range of products for applications used in the pharmaceutical industry. We work according to the highest international standards and continuously carry out product testing to ensure these standards are being met.
Our sodium and potassium hydroxide pellets make us a reliable global partner to the pharmaceutical industry. They are used for pharmaceutical production/synthesis, saponification, cleaning and pH-adjustment.
With our organic peroxides and metalorganic catalysts we supply API's for Rx & OTC, late stage intermediates and critical reactants for cutting edge small molecule synthesis. Specifically, in pharmaceutical synthesis our metal alkyls and complex metalorganics products products are especially useful in reduction, addition, alkylation and deprotonation where our reagents facilitate a wide range of transformations. Asymmetric hydride reduction of ketone (steroids), chiral addition (efavirenz) and 1,3 syn-diol formation (statins) are some of the reactions carried out with our products.
Our MCA is used as essential raw material for phenoxyacetic acid, raw material for penicillin, ibuprofen, produced via the IPA-ester, and many other pharmaceutical applications.
CEKOL® sodium carboxymethyl cellulose grades are used as excipients in pharmaceutical products (e.g. cough syrups, tablets etc.), providing desired rheology for any aqueous system, including suspensions and emulsions. Besides controlling the rheology, CEKOL® products are known for their excellent water retaining and film forming capacity.
Product lines for the pharmaceutical industry
The consistency and low levels of impurities of our sodium and potassium hydroxide pellets make us a reliable global partner to the pharmaceutical industry. Our products are used for pharmaceutical production/synthesis, saponification, cleaning and pH-adjustment.
MCA is used as essential raw material for phenoxyacetic acid, raw material for penicillin, ibuprofen, produced via the IPA-ester, and many other pharmaceutical applications.
Today, when sustainability and green values are the key drivers in product innovations, CEKOL® sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is a preferred choice as a bio-based and biodegradable hydrocolloid. Most of the CEKOL® products are classified as standard pharmaceutical grades. These CEKOL® grades meet the requirements of carboxymethyl cellulose sodium for pharmaceutical use by USP/NF, Ph. Eur. and most other pharmacopeias.

In the pharmaceutical and medical industries, examples of hydrogen peroxide use include clinic disinfection, topical wound treatment and dental care such as mouthwash and teeth whitening
We are a global leader in BPO for acne medicine and organic peroxides for radical addition, asymmetric oxidation, Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation and more.
We develop outstanding silica-based stationary phases for process-scale high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) for the purification of APIs, from small molecules to proteins and other biomolecules.
