API manufacturing can be divided into two primary categories chemical synthesis and biotechnological production. Chemical synthesis involves the transformation of raw materials into pharmaceuticals through various chemical reactions. This method can be highly efficient for small molecules and allows for scalability and flexibility in production. In contrast, biotechnological production, which includes the use of living organisms or cells to produce active ingredients, is primarily applicable in the production of large molecules such as proteins or monoclonal antibodies.
In terms of aesthetic attributes, fillers can also contribute to the color, texture, and transparency of plastic products. For instance, titanium dioxide is often used as a white pigment to enhance the opacity and brightness of plastic products. Additionally, certain fillers can impart a desired surface finish, making products more visually appealing to consumers. This aspect is particularly significant in industries such as cosmetics and consumer electronics, where the appearance of packaging can influence consumer buying decisions.
