MONTANE™
Sorbitan esters, lipophilic solubilizers and emulsifiers
MONTANE™ range is comprised of different sorbitan ester grades that can be used to formulate water-in-oil emulsions for oral, topical and injectable formulations.
Lipophilic emulsifiers
MONTANE™ products are sorbitan esters.
These lipophilic surfactants are used as emulsifiers to formulate water/oil emulsions.
MONTANE™ products are stable in slightly acidic or basic media and are compatible with other surfactants.
They can be used alone or combined with MONTANOX™ to produce highly stable emulsions.
MONTANE™ products can be used in practically all emulsion formulations: creams, ointments, lotions, injectable preparations, etc.
A suitable grade for every application
The MONTANE™ range is composed of monoesters and triesters of lauric, stearate or oleic fatty acids. They are characterised by their HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) value.
Two pharmaceutical grades are available: PPI and PHA PREMIUM
- The PPI grade is designed for injectable administration and products are manufactured according to the Good Manufacturing Practices “GMP part II” and comply with the EP and USP pharmacopoeia.
- The PHA PREMIUM grade is designed for oral and topical administration and products are manufactured according to IPEC’s GMPs and comply with the EP and USP pharmacopoeia.
