Continuous commitment to Mannitol development to Support the growth of the Pharmaceutical Market Segments

Mannitol has a share of the most desirable qualities that formulators seek in mineral, sugar or even polymeric excipients: notably a characteristic low chemical reactivity, an extraordinarily low level of hygroscopicity making it one of the "driest" products for moisture sensitive formulation, coupled with a pleasant taste and mouthfeel.
