widely used in tablet manufacturing as a lubricant. In the pharmaceutical and food supplement industries
Calcium stearate is widely used in tablet manufacturing as a lubricant. In the pharmaceutical and food supplement industries, it serves several functions during the tableting process:
Lubricant: Calcium stearate reduces friction between the tablet formulation and the machinery, ensuring smooth compression and ejection from molds. This prevents tablets from sticking to the dies and punches.
Flow enhancer: It improves the flow properties of the powdered ingredients, making the process of tablet formation more efficient.
Anti-adherent: It prevents tablets from sticking to each other during packaging and storage, ensuring proper separation.
