Agglomerated: galenIQTM 721 and 720

For seamless compression and optimized flow properties, explore galenIQ™ 721 and galenIQ™ 720, our agglomerated solutions that bring efficiency and reliability to your processes. This structure is created through a special manufacturing process that combines individual particles into larger, porous granules. This results in several key advantages for pharmaceutical applications.
