Dextran Products Limited

Polydex's subsidiary, Dextran Products Limited, has been manufacturing dextran and important dextran derivatives since the Company began operations over three decades ago. Its fully equipped, 28,000 sq. ft. Toronto production facility manufactures powders and liquids in bulk for sale and export through an international network of human and animal health distributors.

Production Capacity

This plant has the capacity to simultaneously produce both 10% and 20% Iron Dextran at the rate of up to 11,000 liters per week (there are 1,057 quarts in one liter), and 500 kilograms (there are 2.2 pounds in one kilogram) per month of Dextran Sulphate. Current production is approximately 8,000 liters of Iron Dextran per week and approximately 250 kilos of Dextran Sulphate per quarter.

The distillation column at Dextran Products requires less energy to produce two times as much material with a consistency of composition superior to that achievable by our previous technology.
