Pharmaceutical Manufacturing


Being at the forefront of new drug discoveries, the pharmaceutical industry relies heavily on close support from Dow Corning to ensure that current and new drugs are made and delivered on time.

Providing unique chemical properties that protect various carboxy, amino and hydroxyl groups, silanes have been used for more than 20 years in the production of antibiotics such as penicillin and celphlasporin-type medications.  TBMS is also used in anticholestrol drug production as a " super-protector" of the active groups during synthesis.

As the global market for antibacterial compounds increases due to population growth and increasing healthcare demands, pharmaceutical manufacturers will rely on silanes as they develop the next generation of antibiotic therapies.
