Product Description

Magnesium Stearate CAS 557-04-0

Product Overview

Magnesium stearate (C₃₆H₇₀MgO₄, molecular weight 591.24) is an organic compound appearing as a fine white, non-grit powder with a slippery feel. It is insoluble in water, ethanol, or ethers. Primarily used as a lubricant, anti-adhesive, and flow aid, it's particularly suited for granulating oils and extracts, resulting in granules with excellent fluidity and compressibility.

Key Benefits

Improves powder flow and compressibility
Acts as a lubricant in tablet manufacturing
Prevents sticking during production processes
Enhances the clarity of liquid formulations
Functions as a suspending and thickening agent

Target Industries

Pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and food industries.
