API Solvents

Importance of Solvents for API Manufacturing

APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients) are active ingredients in pharmaceutical drugs that help improve or sustain health. Many different organic solvents are used during the manufacture of APIs and intermediates. Organic solvents are commonly used as reaction media during synthesis steps, purification, product washing, and cleaning equipment.
 
API solvents are chosen based on their physical properties, often by the solubility and boiling point. A common technique to purify APIs and pharmaceutical intermediates is via crystallization. During crystallization, the purified ingredient is soluble in the solvent at high temperatures, but has low solubility at room temperature.
 
Solvent purity is critical during API manufacturing. Manufacturers rely on quality, high-purity organic solvents to achieve efficient, controlled, and reproducible synthesis steps. Haltermann Carless manufactures hydrocarbon solvents with purity standards up to 99.75%. Because of their many years of expertise in high-purity solvents, many leading API manufacturers choose to work with Haltermann Carless for their solvent needs.
