Why Choose Our Gelatin for Pharmaceuticals
Our high-bloom gelatin is ideal for manufacturing both hard and soft gelatin capsules. Its superior gelling properties ensure robust capsule formation and reliable sealing, crucial for product integrity and dosage accuracy. This high-quality gelatin also contributes to the capsules’ smooth texture and easy swallowing.
The high viscosity of our gelatin makes it an excellent binding agent in tablet production. It effectively holds tablet ingredients together, ensuring proper tablet hardness and preventing crumbling. Our gelatin is universally tolerated, offers excellent elasticity and clarity, melts at body temperature for easy digestion, and is thermo-reversible, further enhancing its suitability for pharmaceutical applications.

Hard and Soft Capsules
Gelatin is essential for creating hard and soft capsule shells, providing a barrier against light, oxygen, contamination, and microbial growth. It also masks unpleasant tastes and odors. Gelatin’s versatility makes it ideal for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications, ensuring product integrity and patient compliance.
Hard capsules (75% market share) are two-piece (body and cap) cylindrical shells, forming a secure unit. Sizes range from 000 to 5, catering to various dosages. Capsules can be transparent or colored, allowing for branding. Imprinting enhances product differentiation.
Hard capsules commonly hold powders, granules, pellets, and mini tablets, offering formulation flexibility. Specialized sealing enables liquid and paste encapsulation while maintaining drug safety. This adaptability makes gelatin capsules a preferred choice for diverse pharmaceutical and supplement products.

Tablets
Gelatin offers a cost-effective alternative to capsules as a binder and coating for tablets. This provides versatility in drug formulation. Tablets also allow for dose splitting via notching and avoid cross linking issues.
However, tablets have limitations. They are best for solid APIs and excipients, and can have slower dissolution. Formulation can be complex, and they offer less protection from oxygen and light, impacting drug stability. Swallowing can also be a challenge for some.
Despite these, gelatin is valuable in tablet production. As a binder, it helps powders adhere during granulation. Coatings improve swallowability, mask tastes/odors, and protect APIs from oxygen and light, addressing some tablet weaknesses.

Medical Devices
Gelatin is ideal for diverse healthcare applications. Its biocompatibility, purity, and minimal immunogenicity make it a valuable biomaterial. Reproducible production with controlled parameters ensures consistent quality for medical uses.
Gelatin is crucial in hemostatic sponges, providing effective blood control. These sponges are bioresorbable, eliminating the need for removal, and they promote faster healing. Gelatin also functions as a skin-friendly adhesive in ostomy patches, ensuring patient comfort.
Furthermore, gelatin bone plugs offer stability after joint surgery, and they biodegrade naturally within the body. Gelatin has a history as a plasma expander, providing a cost-effective method for increasing plasma volume. Its versatility makes it essential in various medical devices.
