What are the main manufacturing materials of Pharmaceutical Empty Capsules?

Update:22 Mar 2024
The main manufacturing material of Pharmaceutical Empty Capsules is usually pharmaceutical gelatin. Medicinal gelatin is a specially processed colloidal substance derived from animals, which is mainly extracted from animal bones, skin and cutin. This material is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry mainly because of its unique physical and chemical properties.
Medicinal gelatin has good plasticity and formability, and can quickly solidify into a stable shape at a certain temperature, which facilitates the manufacturing of medicinal hollow capsules. In addition, medicinal gelatin also has high lubricity and softness, which not only ensures the stability of the capsule during packaging, transportation and use, but also improves the patient's experience.
In addition to medicinal gelatin, the manufacturing process of medicinal hollow capsules may also involve other auxiliary materials, such as glycerin, purified water, preservatives and pigments. These auxiliary materials play a vital role in the manufacturing process of capsules. They can adjust the hardness, humidity, color and other characteristics of the capsule to ensure the quality and stability of the capsule.
It is worth noting that the manufacturing materials of medicinal hollow capsules must strictly comply with relevant regulations and standards to ensure their safety and effectiveness. When pharmaceutical companies select manufacturing materials, they usually conduct rigorous screening and testing to ensure that the selected materials meet pharmaceutical requirements and will not have adverse effects on the drugs.
In addition, with the continuous advancement of science and technology and the development of the pharmaceutical industry, the manufacturing materials of medicinal hollow capsules are also constantly innovating and improving. Some new materials, such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose or polyvinyl ester, are also gradually used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical hollow capsules. These new materials not only have better physical and chemical properties, but can also improve the biocompatibility and degradability of capsules, further improving the safety and environmental protection of medicinal hollow capsules.
To sum up, the main manufacturing material of pharmaceutical hollow capsules is pharmaceutical gelatin, and may involve other auxiliary materials. Pharmaceutical companies will strictly follow relevant regulations and standards when selecting manufacturing materials to ensure the safety and effectiveness of capsules. At the same time, with the continuous advancement of science and technology, the manufacturing materials of medicinal hollow capsules are also constantly innovated and improved, providing strong support for the development of the pharmaceutical industry.
