markets we serve

pharmaceuticals

our pharmaceutical excipients:

  • provide extensive benefits for consumers that help increase patient compliance
  • help feed the global population of 9.8 B by 2050 sustainably through more efficient land use and less environmental impact 
  • are sustainably sourced where possible, helping to reduce our impact on the environment

Our innovations have earned Ashland a leadership position in the following areas:

oral solid dose (OSD)

  • aquarius™ genesis film coating systems 
    new formulations for manufacturing challenges allow fast application and fast drying on the tablet at lower processing temperatures, helping to improve preparation time while reducing process time and temperature
     
  • benecel™ XRF hydroxypropyl methylcellulose
    optimized for controlled-release matrix tablets, these products enable high-speed compaction to improve tablet strength and reduce waste through product loss 

injectable excipients

continuous manufacturing

In addition to creating innovative products, we strive to build sustainable platforms through continuous manufacturing. We expanded our continuous manufacturing platforms to include:

The many benefits of continuous manufacturing include:

  • cost savings
  • improved cost efficiencies
  • reduced manufacturing time
  • improved product quality and reliability

platform innovations

New technology platforms aligned to our core help to extend Ashland’s products to secondary markets with new and differentiated capabilities to unlock growth. Below are our newest platform innovations for crop care and drug delivery:

super wetting agents - crop care

  • easy-wet™ 300n wetting agent
    an inherently biodegradable wetting agent that can control drift and magnify yield easy-wet ™ 300n is a unique solution for crop care that sets a new standard in crop care, offering superior wettability at lower concentrations, reduced spray drift, and enhanced coverage of active ingredients across leaf surfaces.
