Desiccants for Bulk Drugs and API Manufacturing

Desiccants such as silica gel, molecular sieves, or calcium chloride are widely used to safeguard APIs from the risk of moisture-related damage. APIs are a massive part of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry; they stand for active pharmaceutical ingredients- the main active ingredient in a drug.

Quality control of APIs is crucial for ensuring their safety during storage and transport, which helps prevent the loss of drug substances. The APIs have to travel a long journey, from manufacturing to packaging and proper storage during transportation. It's important to maintain a dry environment; even the slightest exposure to humidity or moisture could lead to hydrolysis, oxidation, or other degradation reactions.

Few of the APIs absorb moisture from the air; for such situations, our desiccants are often included in API containers to maintain a dry atmosphere. During transportation, canisters or small silica gel packets are placed inside the container to maintain the potency of the products.

Frequently Asked Questions ?

APIs are sensitive to moisture and humidity; even little exposure can lead to oxidation, hydrolysis, or degradation. To preserve its shelf life and potency, moisture control is necessary.

For a longer shelf life and to maintain the integrity of medicinal compounds, the use of silica gel is necessary. They absorb moisture and prevent condensation in API containers.

sorbipaks is known as an advanced desiccant solution because it combines moisture adsorption and oxygen scavenging. They help prevent oxidation and humidity-related degradation, ensuring a longer shelf life for APIs.

The use of humidity indicator cards in API packaging provides real-time moisture monitoring.

The short answer is yes; pharma-grade silica gel is non-toxic, chemically stable, and FDA & EU-compliant for use in direct contact with pharmaceutical ingredients.
