What is a Tableting Lubricant?

Pharma lubricant excipients are added to tablet formulations to prevent sticking by reducing friction between the powder and the tablet punches. Pharmaceutical lubricants be compatible with APIs and excipients.

  • Reduce ejection force.
  • Decrease interparticle friction, static, and adhesion to punches and dies surfaces.
  • Result in smoother tablet production and reduced wear on equipment.
