A good example of such controlled release applications is the use of SOLUPOR®
in transdermal drug delivery systems. In such systems a drug is released from
a reservoir through SOLUPOR® to the skin, where it is absorbed. Driven by more
efficient and patient friendly therapies, these innovative Transdermal Drug
Delivery Systems (TDDS) are a large and growing segment of the pharmaceutical
industry.
DSM Solutech has developed a special SOLUPOR® grade with improved peel
strength for this application:
SOLUPOR® 10P05A.
