Description

Sodium stearyl fumarate is a water-soluble lubricant used in the pharmaceutical industry for compressing tablets ("tableting"). Sodium stearyl fumarate is an inert, hydrophilic, tablet lubricant, useful in situations where other lubricating agents (i.e., magnesium stearate) fail to provide tablets of adequate stability, hardness, content uniformity, disintegration and dissolution rate.

Benefits

1.Improved drug stability.

2.Faster dissolution rates.

3.Harder tablets.

4.Protection from over-blending.

5.Faster formulation development and scale-up.

6.Enhanced lubrication efficiency.
