Product Advantages

Exceptional API Compatibility

One of the key benefits of sodium stearyl fumarate is its excellent API compatibility, minimizing potential degradation issues often seen with magnesium stearate, a significant advantage in drug formulation stability.

Robustness Against Over-Lubrication

Unlike other lubricants, sodium stearyl fumarate exhibits robustness to over-lubrication, providing greater flexibility in blending processes and reducing the risk of production challenges.

Enhanced Tablet Performance

This excipient significantly improves tablet hardness and can lead to faster disintegration and dissolution rates, which is vital for the efficacy of solid dosage forms.

Key Applications

Tablet Lubrication

As a primary tablet lubricant, sodium stearyl fumarate reduces friction during tablet compression, ensuring smooth ejection from dies and preventing sticking.

Capsule Manufacturing

It also serves as an effective lubricant in capsule manufacturing, aiding in the filling process and ensuring uniform content uniformity.

Dough Conditioning

Beyond pharmaceuticals, sodium stearyl fumarate can be used as a dough quality improver, increasing the toughness and improving the taste of pasta products.

Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODT)

Its hydrophilic nature makes it particularly suitable for ODTs and effervescent tablets, where it has minimal impact on dissolution and disintegration characteristics.
