Lubrizol Highlights Broad Range of Material Solutions at AAPS Conference in San
Diego
CLEVELAND, October 30, 2014 - The Lubrizol Corporation''s LifeSciences business,
a leading supplier of advanced materials for the pharmaceutical and medical
device industry, will showcase its extensive range of material solutions for the
pharmaceutical industry at the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists
(AAPS) conference Nov. 2-6 at the San Diego Convention Center (booth 1817). The
company will highlight its new pharmaceutical-grade Pathway(TM) thermoplastic
polyurethane (TPU) excipients and its range of TPU products for wound care
devices and treatments.
Lubrizol''s new Pathway TPU excipients provide a customizable, reliable, and
innovative solution for both new drug development and life cycle management.
"The expansion of new routes of administration for existing drug products is an
important strategy that pharmaceutical companies can use to help maintain the
success of their product franchises," says Joey Glassco, global market manager
for Lubrizol LifeSciences. "Pathway excipients are designed to help drug
manufacturers achieve their goals of developing these novel, controlled release
drug delivery products," adds Glassco.
New Pathway excipients for non-biodegradable drug delivery systems such as
vaginal rings and subcutaneous implants are more versatile compared to
traditional materials used in these drug delivery applications. Pathway TPUs are
manufactured under IPEC GMP guidelines for excipients and are ideal for
combination products that can deliver a wide variety of drugs - both hydrophobic
and hydrophilic - because the polymers can be chemically engineered to meet
tough drug delivery challenges.
At AAPS, Lubrizol will also feature its recently launched Pellethane(®) TPU
products for wound care and medical device applications. New Pellethane TPU
grades provide a high moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) for film wound
care applications. TPU products such as Lubrizol''s Tecophilic(TM) and Pellethane
grades are considered preferred polymers for these applications because of the
materials'' biocompatibility, ability to absorb moisture, provide breathability
and supply an adequate barrier to contaminants and microbes, while maintaining
comfort for the patient.

Carbopol(®) carbomers as well as Tecophilic and Pellethane TPU can also be used
in synthetic dressings. Applications include products such as hydrogels and
woven or non-woven dressings. Hydrogels are used in tandem with a backing to
absorb or provide moisture, provide cooling comfort sensations in a wound or to
fill a void during healing.
