Core Applications
Pharmaceutical excipients: as a pH-sensitive slow-release carrier, it helps diabetes drugs to realize once-daily dosage, and the phase III clinic shows that the efficiency of glycemic control has been increased by 12.7%.
Industrial substitution: ECOCERT certified in the field of daily chemicals, replacing the traditional emulsifier SLS; industrial water-based cutting fluid preservative biodegradation rate increased by 90%.
Capacity dynamics
China accounts for 35% of the global production capacity, Zhejiang Xinhecheng 20,000 tons / year expansion project will be put into production in 2025; FDA 2024 new potassium caprylate as Class II oral excipients (DMF: 035402).
Technical Challenges
Potassium salt hygroscopicity (critical humidity RH 65%) constrains application, nano-silica-based coating patent (US2024178923A1) can improve humidity stability by 50%.
