show dates: October 25-28, 2026
location: New Orleans, Louisiana
booth: 925

Our Ashland team of solvers is excited to meet you at AAPS 2026 PharmSci 360 to showcase our latest products and innovations.

Explore our newest product introductions, including permexa™ sodium caprate, enabling oral biologics and peptide delivery; lubrify™ sodium stearyl fumarate, supporting efficient manufacturing processes; and vialose™ mannitol, expanding our injectable and biologics platform.

Discover our comprehensive offering dedicated to injectables, including our viatel™ bioresorbable polymers technology platform for long-acting injectables, medical devices and tissue engineering polymers. We’ll also be showcasing our range of low nitrite excipients for oral solid dosage, including plasdone™ low nitrite povidone, polyplasdone™ low nitrite crospovidone  and benecel™ low nitrite hypromellose. Join us to explore strategies to mitigate nitrosamine formation and discover how our new excipients can support your pharmaceutical challenges.

When you're ready to formulate, we're ready to work with you.

who shines through biological barriers? permexa™ sodium caprate permeation enhancer who redefines tablet lubrication performance? lubrify™ sodium stearyl fumarate

Ashland offers a broad selection of pharmaceutical excipients to formulate effective pharmaceutical products. Well-known for our cellulosics and acetylenics, Ashland also offers film coating solutions and an expanded portfolio for injectables and biologics. The robust Ashland pharmaceutical portfolio includes immediate and controlled release excipients, film coating systems, bioresorbable polymers for long-acting injectables and lyoprotectants—supporting many of your formulation needs.

key products

  • permexa™ sodium caprate is a permeation enhancer designed to support oral absorption of poorly permeable molecules, including peptides and biologics. This process-engineered grade of sodium caprate has a better flowability and compactibility, enabling more robust tablet production.
  • coming soon lubrify™ sodium stearyl fumarate is a high-performance tablet lubricant designed to overcome the limitations of traditional lubricans, such as magnesium stearate.
  • coming soon vialose™ mannitol is our newest addition to our vialose™ highly purified sugars product family. Together with  vialose™ trehalose dihydrate and vialose™ sucrose, vialose™mannitol is commonly found in biological medicines and used as a protein stabilizer and lyoprotectant. 
  • viatel™ bioresorbable polymers are the building blocks for developing long-acting injectable depots, an established technology to improve therapeutic efficacy and patient compliance. All viatel™ bioresorbable polymers can be custom produced for a tailored solution.
  • plasdone™ low nitrite povidone, polyplasdone™ low nitrite crospovidone and benecel™ low nitrite hypromellose are our established excipients that now include a nitrite specification, with the nitrite level clearly reported on each CoA, helping you mitigate nitrosamine formation in your final drug product.​
  • aquarius™ film coating systems are fully formulated systems available in a broad range of functionalities and colors, and are also offered in TiO2-free versions. Our coatings can be customized to achieve specific properties, depending on your formulation requirements.
