In pharmaceutical manufacturing, the selection of excipients is as critical as the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) itself. These inactive substances play vital roles in drug formulation, affecting bioavailability, stability, and ease of administration. Stearic Acid (CAS 57-11-4), a saturated fatty acid, is a well-established and highly valuable pharmaceutical excipient, widely utilized for its multifaceted functionalities.

As a leading supplier of high-purity chemicals from China, we recognize the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical industry. Our Stearic Acid, meeting pharmacopoeial standards such as USP, BP, and EP, is an indispensable component in various oral and topical dosage forms. Primarily, it functions as a tablet and capsule lubricant. During tablet compression, it prevents the powder mixture from sticking to the punches and dies, ensuring smooth tablet ejection and maintaining consistent tablet weight and hardness. Its lubricating properties significantly improve the efficiency and reliability of high-speed tablet manufacturing processes.

Beyond lubrication, Stearic Acid can also act as a binder, aiding in the cohesion of powder particles to form robust granules. In certain formulations, it is incorporated into tablet coatings, contributing to film integrity and controlled release properties. For topical applications, it serves as an emulsifying agent, creating stable creams and ointments, and as a stiffening agent in suppositories.

Pharmaceutical companies seeking to secure a consistent and high-quality supply of this essential excipient can rely on us as their trusted China-based manufacturer and supplier. We ensure rigorous quality control throughout our production process to guarantee lot-to-lot consistency, a non-negotiable aspect for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Understanding the importance of cost-effectiveness without compromising quality, we offer competitive pharmaceutical grade stearic acid price points.
