Widely used as a flow agent in pharmaceutical manufacturing, it prevents ingredients from sticking to machinery during tablet and capsule production. It ensures consistent dosing by promoting uniform powder flow. Commonly found in dietary supplements and medicines, it also acts as a lubricant to ease the ejection of tablets from presses. In cosmetics, it improves texture and helps blend ingredients smoothly in powders and pressed products. Its water-repellent properties enhance product shelf life by reducing moisture absorption.
