Key expertise

Polymers

SEQENS strongly believes in the potential of new cutting-edge technologies to improve the use and efficiency of existing APIs. To support its customers, Seqens offers a range of drug delivery polymers.
P
Polymers

Our drug delivery excipients & medical material

The R&D centers at SEQENS provide extensive knowledge and expertise in tailor-made polymers designed to meet its customers’ needs.

Bioabsorbable and biocompatible PLA and PLGA polymers

These polymers are used as functional excipients for controlled and slow release (weeks to months) with a single injection of the drug product.

We can provide our customers with small or bulk quantities for screening of PLA/PLGA ± PEG polymers (up to 50 references available) to improve formulation at early stages of development. These polymers are manufactured according to GMP standards.

Drug-release can be controlled by the Lactic acid/Glycolic acid monomer ratio, chain length or end groups. Typically longer chain length and higher lactic acid monomer ratio are associated with slower degradation / drug release. These adjustable properties make our unique grades and tailor-made grades.

PEKK polymers

PEKK polymers (polyetherketoneketone) are useful for long-term implantable human devices with nearly unlimited life cycles (several years)

These polymers are widely used in orthopedics, as well as neurological, dental, spinal and cardiovascular implants but also in PEKK-based 3D-printed bones. Catalog on demand

Seqens can also develop other GMP medical grade polymers such as hydroxybutyrate, (poly)ester, acrylate and methacrylate copolymers for our customers.
