Sodium Stearyl Fumarate
Sodium Stearyl Fumarate (SSF) is a high-performance, inert lubricant used primarily in the production of tablets and capsules. It offers superior purity levels compared to traditional lubricants, ensuring high formulation stability and compatibility with a wide range of active ingredients.
This hydrophilic lubricant exhibits excellent chemical resistance and effectively prevents sticking and picking during high-speed manufacturing. Its Pharmaceutical Grade quality is essential for modern solid dosage forms, providing better mechanical strength than metallic stearates.
SSF facilitates enhanced disintegration rates and is particularly effective for effervescent tablets and complex formulations. It serves as a vital functional excipient that optimizes flow properties while ensuring consistent dosage uniformity in high-output industrial processes.
Sodium Stearyl Fumarate
- Tablet Lubrication: Used as a specialized lubricant in direct compression and wet granulation to reduce friction and prevent punch filming during manufacturing.
- Capsule Filling: Acts as a high-efficiency flow aid to ensure consistent weight distribution and prevent adherence during automated capsule filling operations.
- Food Processing: Utilized as a dough conditioner and stabilizing agent in specialized nutritional products requiring high-temperature stability and clean-label profiles.
Classified as a non-hazardous substance for transport; however, fine dust may cause respiratory irritation. Operators should utilize safety goggles, nitrile gloves, and dust masks to prevent accidental skin contact or inhalation during bulk handling.
