Surfactants: Chemistry, Theory,and Application
The high surface tension of water presents challenges to a formulator who attempts to develop products that will properly wet surfaces, disperse pigments, emulsify key components, or even generate or destabilize foam. This accredited course on surfactants (chemistry, theory, mechanism, and application) initially reviews the various types and chemical structures of commercially available surfactants. An… Continue reading Surfactants: Chemistry, Theory,and Application
Read MoreRheology: Chemistry, Theory, and Application
We must understand how materials are affected, by their flow behavior, as a result of applied stress forces. This knowledge will allow a formulator to develop products with the best possible outcome considering production, storage, packaging, and application. This intensive, accredited training course on rheology (chemistry, theory, mechanism, and application) reviews the basic principles of… Continue reading Rheology: Chemistry, Theory, and Application

Read MoreOptimization of Powders for Flowability
There are several metrics that formulators use to quantify the flowability of powder blends, including angle of repose, Carr and Hausner ratios, FFC, and flow energies. They all have one thing in common: none will predict whether or not a powder will flow in a hopper. Frequently, powders that are deemed easy flowing exhibit flow… Continue reading Optimization of Powders for Flowability

Read MoreEthylene Oxide: Product Adoption and Parametric Release
Ethylene Oxide (ETO) Sterilization is a critical process for medical devices, which might include pharmaceuticals and the food industry. Today, the challenge is to understand product adoption during material changes to simplify and have a more robust product validation process based on product families. Another benefit is to have a better understanding on Parametric Release… Continue reading Ethylene Oxide: Product Adoption and Parametric Release
Read MoreDeveloping and Optimizing of Roll Compacted Granulations for Tablets
Granulating is the most popular way to prepare materials for tableting. Many excipients and actives used in modern direct compression processes are granulated. The granulation process, using only pressure for particle size enlargement, is dry granulation (Roll compaction (RC)). The RC process, even though simple in principle, can be quite complex. Besides proper machine setup,… Continue reading Developing and Optimizing of Roll Compacted Granulations for Tablets
