Silicones for pharmaceutical applications analytical capabilities at Solvias

June 21, 2017

Silicones are used in pharmaceutical applications as part of formulations, as well as during manufacturing and in packaging. The term ‘silicones’ encompasses a large number of compounds based on polydialkylsiloxanes. The most common are trimethylsilyloxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes. Dimethicones and simethicones are used as active ingredients and antifoaming agents in numerous anti-flatulent or anti-acid formulations. In pharmaceutical formulations, while considered active ingredients, their effect is usually caused by their physical properties, as polydimethylsiloxanes are not metabolized.
