Stearic & Stearates

Microlex® Stearic & Stearates cover an extensive range of applications in the pharmaceutical industry

. Tableting agent

. Lubricant

. Flowability agent

. Separating agent

. Water repellent

. MAGNESIUM STEARATE

Magnesium Stearate is the most widely used excipient in the pharmaceutical

industry, it ranks as number one in the list of the Top Ten excipients used

in solid oral dosage forms. In the middle east alone, more than 2500

pharmaceutical products include Magnesium Stearate.The crystal

structure of high quality Magnesium Stearate is often pictured

as a deck of cards. Due to the lamella structure Magnesium

Stearate offers a very high specific surface area. During the

blending process with active ingredients, carriers or fillers,

the "plates" of Magnesium Stearate dismantle from the

decks, piece by piece, to coat other particles.

. Microlex® MS-101

. Specific surface area: 6-10 m2/g

. Median particle size (D50): 7-11 µm

. Most popular excipient for the production of tablets and capsules

. Typical quantity used during formulation: 0,2 to 1 by tablet weight

. Flowability agent for powder preblends

. Offering an efficient and low dosage in capsules

. Microlex® MS-102

. Specific surface area: 8-12m2/g

. Median particle size (D50): 5-9 µm

. Higher specific surface area and a smaller median partide size

. This product is preferred for more critical and very fine herbal formulations

. Microlex® MS-103

. Specific surface area: 6-8m2/g

. Median particle size (D50):7-11 µm

. Suitable for combination with the favourable crystalline

. Supports a lower dissolution profile

. Designed for special formulations, as low and stable viscosity is required for tablet coatings

. Microlex® MS-104

. Developed for highly complex pharmaceutical applications (e.g.inhalation medicine)

. Very tight specification with additional tests of fatty acid profile, particle size characterization and microbial count

. Microlex® MS-105

. Produced in accordance with strict Kosher and Halal regulations

. Offers the respective required certifications for OTC pharmaceuticals

. Meets Kosher and Halal preparations in Jewish and Arab cultures

. Qualified in high specification standards requested by European formulators

. STEARIC ACID

Some formulations in the pharmaceutical industry are incompatible with Magnesium Stearate. For such for mulations,

We are pleased to offer you our range of carefully engineered Stearic Acids:

. Microlex® SA-121

. Very fine quality of a vegetable Stearic Acid

. Designed for tableting and flowability agent in specific pharmaceutical

formulations

. Developed to support the high demands of the pharmaceutical

industry

. Complies with Ph.Eur & USP /NF regulations

. Produced by an innovative and complex production process

. Microlex® SA -122

In addition to the characteristics offered in Microlex® MS-121, this material offers particularly low levels of impurities.

This high purity level is achieved through use of special selected raw materials.

. CALCIUM STEARATE

Calcium Stearate possesses characteristics assimilable to

Magnesium Stearate,likewise it is physiologically safe and is used as a:

. lubricant

. Flowability agent

. Water repellent

. Microlex® CS-141

. Specific surface area: 5-9 m2/g

. Median particle size (D50): 5-9 µm

. A perfect choice for vegetable formulations

. A water repellent agent in the production of effervescent tablets

. Preventing premature reaction of the effervescent tablets

. Preventing unwanted absorption of moisture

Microlex® CS-142

. Produced in accordance with strict Kosher and Halal regulations

. Offers the respective required certifications for OTC pharmaceuticals

. Meets Kosher and Halal preparations in Jewish and Arab cultures

. Qualified in high specification standards requested by European formulators
