TAP®

100 µm – 1000 µm

TAP® – 100% Tartaric Acid Pellets – are functional starter beads for multi-particulate dosage forms, tablets, minitablets and capsule applications.

TAP® are made from certified tartaric adic and pure water, only. They are serving a functional acidic environment pushing the dissolution on weakly basic actives. Best for formulation with basic weakly actives, such as Verapamil HCL, Propiverine HCL, Papaverine, Dipyridamole, Dabigratran, Chloramphenicol.

With strong physical properties, such as high degree of sphericity, and best monodispersity TAP® products are extremely versatile.

All TAP® products have analyzed quality according to Ph.Eur., USP/NF, JPE and ChP. High-level certified producer from Germany. Special sizes on request.
