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:
Role in Tableting:
-
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.
Benefits:
- Reduces wear and tear on equipment.
- Prevents tablet defects like capping or lamination.
- Improves production efficiency, especially in high-speed tablet presses.
