Magnesium Stearate Lubricant

Premium Pharmaceutical & Supplement Lubricant

Magnesium stearate lubricant is a widely used functional excipient in tablet and capsule manufacturing, prized for its superior lubrication, flow enhancement, and formulation reliability. Besty Pharma supplies high-quality magnesium stearate produced through a specialized water-based manufacturing process that delivers **excellent flowability, clean performance, and optimized lubrication** — ideal for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and functional food applications.

Our magnesium stearate lubricant is engineered to meet the demands of modern high-speed production lines, ensuring consistent product quality, reduced processing issues, and efficient operation.

What Is Magnesium Stearate?

Magnesium stearate is a magnesium salt of stearic and palmitic acids, commonly used as a **lubricant and flow agent** in solid dosage form manufacturing. It functions by coating particle surfaces within a powder blend, reducing friction between particles and equipment surfaces during compression or capsule filling. This improves powder handling, prevents sticking and picking, and supports uniform dose delivery.

Key Functional Benefits

**Enhanced Lubrication for Smooth Production**
Magnesium stearate significantly reduces friction between powder particles and tablet tooling or capsule equipment, resulting in smoother processing, higher press speeds, and fewer machine stoppages.

**Superior Flowability**
By improving flow characteristics of powder blends, magnesium stearate helps ensure consistent die filling, uniform weight distribution, and reduced blend segregation.

**Improved Tablet Quality & Ejection**
Lubrication from magnesium stearate supports clean tablet ejection, minimizes capping and lamination, and contributes to stronger, more robust tablets.

**Clean-Performance Water-Processed Grade**
Our magnesium stearate manufactured via a water-based process delivers better flow, fewer impurities, and cleaner release compared with solvent-processed alternatives.

**Compatibility Across Formulations**
Works effectively with a wide range of APIs, excipients, and formulation systems, including direct compression and wet granulation.

Typical Applications

– **Pharmaceutical Tablets:** Prevents sticking and picking during compression; enables consistent hardness and reduced friability.
– **Dietary Supplements:** Enhances blend uniformity and capsule filling efficiency for vitamins, minerals, and herbal blends.
– **Nutraceutical Powders:** Improves flow in powdered formulations and premixes.
– **Chewables & Capsules:** Supports accurate fill weight and consistent release.
