Evonik for Healthcare Industry
Evonik’s comprehensive range of products for the healthcare industry helps to make you feel better inside and out. From cell culture activities to more efficient drug delivery, and supplements to sanitizers – Evonik has got you covered.
Biopharma
cQrex® peptides have superior chemical stability, solubility, and metabolic bioavailability. Their functional superiority enables them to serve as a full replacement of respective amino acids or as supplement to existing media formulations.
PhytoChol® BioPharma is a plant-derived cholesterol, which has been especially developed for use in animal-free cell culture media formulation. It is a phytochemical powder to optimize customers’ cell culture.
Parenteral drug delivery
Evonik’s CDMO portfolio of drug delivery systems comprises more than six established formulation technologies including lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), polymeric microparticles, nanoparticles, micelles, drug-loaded implants and in situ forming.
PhytoChol® Inject is a high-purity, vegetal-derived cholesterol suitable for parenteral applications. This ultra-low-endotoxin cholesterol provides a first-rate alternative to traditional animal-based cholesterol, is USP-NF, Ph.Eur and JP compliant, and can be provided in the quantities required for lipid nanoparticle (LNP) manufacturing.
Oral drug delivery
AEROPERL® 300 Pharma, due to its porous and highly adsorptive character, can help formulators to transform lipid solutions into powders. It improves the dissolution of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
AEROSIL® products help to optimize the flow of powder, which is vital for cost efficient production of high quality tablets.
DEGACRYL® HS 4313 E is the PVC free innovative solution for pharmaceutical blister packaging. It has direct adhesion to aluminum and can be sealed to common blister substrates such as PVC.
EUDRAGIT® polymers can be used individually or in combination to match virtually any target release profile including immediate, delayed, sustained, pulsatile, accelerated, and zero order release.
Medical implants
AEROSIL® fumed silica increase the hardness and abrasivity resistance of dental composites. In addition, they reduce the edge gap that can occur when the composite is cured.
NANOCRYL® D products help to increase the service life of expensive dental prostheses. The smooth surface improves appearance, abrasion resistance and toughness, enhancing the lifetime of the filling, and also reducing the risk of secondary tooth decay.
POLYMER VS SERIES applications include dental impression or molding materials, adhesives for wound care applications or silicone formulations for cushioning gels, prostheses, podology, and otology applications.
RESOMER® offers essential polymer characteristics and versatility in mechanical and chemical properties to optimize the biocompatibility and functionality of implantable devices. It is 100% bioresorbable and completely metabolized by the body. Applications include:
- Orthopedic
- Cardiovascular
- Wound healing
- Mesh and scaffolds etc.
VESTAKEEP® PEEK polyether ether ketone molding material product line for the medical sector offers grades for implants, dental applications and medical devices with outstanding biocompatibility and biostability.
Supplements
AvailOm® omega-3 powders are non-animal derived and have bioavailability more than five times higher than traditional liquid omega-3 soft-gel capsules.
EUDRAGUARD® is the industry’s most versatile and reliable portfolio of nutraceutical functional coatings for use with food or dietary supplements.
Healthberry® is a 100% natural, constant and highly stable powder extract with 30% guaranteed anthocyanins, which have established strong scientific evidence regarding beneficial properties for heart health, as well as other health areas including cognitive function.
REXIVA® platform of non-animal origin amino acids can be used across a range of application areas, including dietary supplements, infant nutrition, sport nutrition and medical enteral nutrition.
Disinfection and laundry
HYPROX® hydrogen peroxide is a colorsafe laundry bleach that is gentle on the mechanical fibers of the laundry.
Evonik offers pharmaceutical hydrogen peroxide grades and peracetic acid grades for various applications in the pharmaceutical and medical industries, including high level disinfection for medical equipment.
PERACLEAN® peracetic acid products are used in the washing phase as disinfectants and bleaching agents. It is a sustainable and skin friendly chemical, suitable for disinfection and as a bleaching agent for industrial laundries.
PERACLEAN® 15 has demonstrated effectiveness against viruses similar to SARS-COV-2 on hard non-porous surfaces.
PERSYNT® GMP is suitable for the following applications:
- Raw material for medical products and formulations
- Wound cleaning and disinfection
- Mouth wash and dental disinfection
- Foot disinfection
- Topical solutions (3wt%)
- Medical therapy
PERSYNT® 3 LC is used in WHO alcohol-based hand-rub formulations.
