This product utilizes ingredients of non-animal origin and non-peanut origin.
Suitable for use in the manufacture of parenteral dosage forms.
Only Class 2 (1,4 Dioxane, Ethylene Glycol) and Class 3 (acetic acid, 2-propanol) solvents are likely to be present. Class 2 solvents are below the Option 1 limits and any Class 3 solvent is <0.5%.
Typical Oleic Acid Content, 77%
Metallic Residues: No metal catalysts or metal reagents, as defined by EMA Guideline EMEA/CHMP/SWP/4446/2000 , are used in the production of this material.
Due to the anhydrous nature of this product, sodium oleate, a carboxylate salt/soap formed naturally in the process and which can be white to brown in color, can precipitate with time and may affect product viscosity.
