Neusilin® UFL2
Neusilin® UFL2 is a pH-neutral, low-water multifunctional excipient. It improves API delivery in pharmaceuticals and provides mattifying properties in cosmetics.
Neusilin® is has been used in hundreds of pharmaceutical preparations for over 60 years. Neusilin® UFL2 is a well-accepted, multifunctional excipient with excellent adsorption capacity. It can maintain its powdery state while adsorbing up to 330% of its own weight, due to its extremely large specific surface area and porous reticulate structure.
In deodorants, Neusilin® UFL2 can both neutralize and absorb odors. For cosmetics and skin care products, it provides great absorption of sebum, oil, and water. It also aids in pigment dispersion and imparts anti-caking and opacifying benefits.

Features & Benefits
Superior compressibility; hard tablets can be made at low compression force Improves hardness of other fillers and binders at low concentration Helps stabilize moisture-sensitive and lipophilic APIs Excellent carrier for solid dispersion via self-micro emulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) and hot-melt extrusion Increases hardness in tablets Aids in tablet disintegration Increases flowability Functions as an anti-caking agent even in high humidity conditions Solidifies liquid APIs Very large specific surface area High oil and water adsorption capacity Excellent sebum absorption capability Deodorant properties Aids in pigment dispersion Imparts opacifying properties Higher API load Restricts reversion of amorphous form to crystalline state Inert core material Heat stable Long shelf life (3 years) Meets all the requirements of the current USP/NF and JPC
Applications
Neusilin® UFL2 can be used as an excipient in a variety of applications. It can be used as a diluent in solid dosage forms, and for tablets, it can bind, increase hardness, and aid in disintegration. It functions as a stabilizer in deliquescent drugs, and solidifies liquid APIs when its necessary to convert them from an oil to a powder, for example. Neusilin® UFL2 can also be used in suspensions. Due to its adsorption capacity, it is ideal for oily skin and acne treatment products, deodorant, lotion, pressed powders, and cleansers.
