(Stabilizer / Binding Agent)
by Muby Chem
Muby Chem operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility producing Magnesium Stearate known for its exceptional purity and efficacy. This compound is valuable in the pharmaceutical application.
Our advanced technology ensures uniformity and consistency in the formulation of Magnesium Stearate, making it a reliable and effective binding agent.
Applications: MOLSTEAR® MAG is primarily used as a lubricant and anti-sticking agent in tablets, capsules, granules and other solid oral dosage forms. During tablet compression, it reduces friction between the formulation and the tablet tooling, helping prevent sticking and picking and supporting smooth tablet ejection. It can also improve powder flow and facilitate consistent manufacturing.
