Overview
- Magnesium Stearate: if your formulation requires a hydrophobic lubricant. It's excellent for formulations where moisture absorption needs to be minimized.
- Sodium Stearyl Fumarate: This is your go-to choice if you need a hydrophilic lubricant. It works well when you want to enhance the dissolution rate or solubility of your formulation.
- PEG 3350: This lubricant offers unique properties, including solubility in both water and organic solvents. Consider PEG 3350 when you need a lubricant with excellent wetting and dispersing capabilities.
- Stearic Acid: Consider using stearic acid as another lubricant option. It offers versatility and compatibility with various formulations, providing lubrication while also acting as a binder or emulsifier in some cases.
- Calcium Stearate: Similar to magnesium stearate, calcium stearate can serve as a hydrophobic lubricant. It's a good alternative if magnesium stearate presents compatibility issues or if you need additional lubrication.
