Increasing Adoption in the Pharmaceutical Sector:
 
Methanesulfonic Acid (MSA) is uniquely adopted for the pharmaceutical sector mainly for its different characteristics driving growth in the market due to it is importance in drug manufacturing. MSA is a strong, odor free organic acid that is well suited for the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) such as Telmisartan and Eprosartan, Angiotensin II receptor antagonists used to treat hypertension. MSA’s non oxidizing nature, lack of metal ions and chlorine free composition make it suitable for pharmaceutical applications where purity and stability are required in complex chemical processes. Its high solubility in water simplifies phase separations, and its resistance to high temperatures increases reaction efficiency. The advantages of MSA enables it to be an indispensible part of the evolving pharmaceutical industry.
