Meeting your application needs


Providing clarity on what goes into the products we create


Active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) can be any substance or mixture of substances that become active ingredients when used in the production of a drug. They are intended to furnish pharmacological activity or other direct effect in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease or to affect the structure and function of the body.

CARBOWAX™ SENTRY™ Polyethylene Glycols (PEGs) 3350 and 4000 Uninhibited are active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) produced to address the needs of the most stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical industry. These APIs are well-known in the treatment of chronic constipation. Functioning as an osmotic laxative, they offer a mild and effective treatment while minimizing adverse side effects often seen with other laxative types.


Excipients are substances formulated with active ingredients for the purpose of long-term stabilization, bulking up solid formulations that contain potent active ingredients in small amounts. Excipients can also aid in the handling of active substance concerns such as facilitating powder flowability or non-stick properties. They can also help in the manufacturing process with aiding in vitro stability such as prevention of denaturation or aggregation over the expected shelf life. Explore Dow excipients including polyethylene glycols, methoxypolyethylene glycols, edetate disodium and XUS developmental poloxamers that meet the requirements of the consumer health and pharmaceutical applications.


No matter what production level you’re seeking, we’re here to support you and your Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) manufacturing processes. From large to small molecule API production, we can deliver a wide range of solvents and other chemicals in every region of the world.
