BASF's Lubricant Portfolio includes hydrophilic and hydrophobic GMP-grade excipients to ensure high performance and robust tableting operations. Choose from a range of tailored solutions for batch or continuous manufacturing.
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 must be compatible with APIs and excipients. Use of pharmaceutical lubricants compatible with APIs and other excipients in the formulation can
- Reduce ejection force.
- Decrease interparticle friction, static, and adhesion to punches and dies surfaces.
- Result in smoother tablet production and reduced wear on equipment.
