Applications of Zinc Stearate in the Pharmaceutical Industry
In the pharmaceutical industry, the selection of excipients is critical for ensuring the efficacy, stability, and manufacturability of drug products. Zinc Stearate (CAS 557-05-1), a fine white powder, plays a significant role as a pharmaceutical lubricant and glidant. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., a leading chemical supplier, offers pharmaceutical-grade Zinc Stearate that meets the stringent requirements of this sector.
The primary application of Zinc Stearate in pharmaceutical manufacturing is as a lubricant in tablet and capsule production. During the tableting process, lubricants are essential to prevent the powder blend from adhering to the punches and dies of the tablet press. Zinc Stearate's low coefficient of friction ensures smooth ejection of the tablet, reducing friction and wear on the equipment, and improving tablet quality. For pharmaceutical companies looking to buy high-quality lubricants, our Zinc Stearate is an ideal solution.
As a glidant, Zinc Stearate also improves the flow properties of powder blends. Enhanced flowability is crucial for uniform die filling during tablet compression, leading to consistent tablet weight and hardness. This characteristic ensures batch-to-batch reproducibility, a cornerstone of pharmaceutical manufacturing. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides Zinc Stearate with controlled particle size and purity, vital for optimizing powder flow and ensuring the integrity of your formulations.
While generally considered safe, it's important to note that the use of Zinc Stearate in infant dusting powders has been discontinued due to inhalation risks. However, its application in oral and topical pharmaceutical formulations remains widespread and accepted. As a reputable supplier, we adhere to strict quality control measures to ensure our Zinc Stearate is suitable for pharmaceutical use, complying with relevant regulatory standards. We are committed to providing pharmaceutical manufacturers with reliable access to this essential excipient.
