Sodium Stearyl Fumerate (PRUV)
Description
Sodium Stearyl Fumarate is a premium off-white to white crystalline powder known for its outstanding lubricating properties in the pharmaceutical industry. It excels in reducing friction during tablet compression, leading to smoother tablet production and less wear on machinery.
This lubricant is particularly effective at lower concentrations compared to alternatives like magnesium stearate. It’s valued for its minimal impact on the dissolution rate, ensuring that active ingredients maintain their effectiveness. Sodium Stearyl Fumarate works well in both wet granulation and direct compression tablet formulations.
Not only is this product effective, but it is also versatile, making it compatible with a wide range of tablet types, including those with sensitive active ingredients and hygroscopic materials. Its use as a lubricant helps achieve consistent tablet hardness and weight, improving the overall quality and manufacturability of the final product.
Applications:
- Lubricant in tablet and capsule formulations
- Ideal for formulations sensitive to other lubricants like magnesium stearate
Features:
- Superior lubrication at lower use levels
- Minimal effect on tablet dissolution profiles
- Compatible with a wide range of active ingredients and excipients
- Perfect for hygroscopic and sensitive formulations
Compliance: Sodium Stearyl Fumarate meets key pharmacopeial standards, ensuring its suitability for global pharmaceutical markets, including Ph. Eur., NF, JPE, and FCC.
