Magnesium Stearate

Item No: Pmgs 301

Magnesium stearate, a white powder insoluble in water and many solvents, serves as a base material alongside other stearate salts to enhance thermal stability in PVC. It is commonly used as a lubricant and anti-adherent in the pharmaceutical and supplement industries. Some key properties of magnesium stearate include its lubricating and anti-adherent effects, which improve the flow of powders during tablet compression and prevent sticking to processing equipment. It also enhances stability, promotes flowability, and is generally considered safe and non-toxic when used within recommended limits. While there has been some debate about its potential effects on drug absorption, regulatory agencies generally approve of its use in pharmaceutical and supplement products.

Applications:

·   Pharmaceuticals and Supplements: Lubricant and anti-adherent in tablets, capsules, and powders.

·      Plastics and Polymers: Enhances thermal stability in PVC and improves impact resistance in plastics.

·         Construction Industry: Waterproofing agent in cement and plasters.

·         Food Industry: Emulsifying agent in food products.

·         Cosmetics and Personal Care: Improves texture and stability in creams, lotions, and powders.

·         Industrial Applications: Flow agent and dispersant in paints, coatings, and inks.

These are just a few examples of the wide-ranging applications of magnesium stearate. Its versatility and beneficial properties make it a valuable ingredient in various industries.
