CALCIUM STEARATE is used in pharmaceuticals and personal care products as a gelling and antitacking agent. In addition, calcium stearate often serves as a tablet mold release agent (tablet manufacturing). It is primary used as a lubricant in tablet and capsule manufacture at concentrations up to 1.0% w/w. Although it has good antiadherent and lubricant properties, calcium stearate has poor glidant properties. Calcium stearate is also used as an emulsifier, stabilizing agent, and suspending agent.

LIGAMED MF-2-V Magnesium stearate is often used as an anti-adherent in the manufacture of medical tablets, capsules and powders. LIGAMED MF-2-V are vegetable magnesium stearates of a very high purity for the production of tablets and capsules. The validated and special process of our production guarantees a high degree of batch-to-batch consistency and a high specific surface area. This results in a good speed of release during pressing and constant performance of the tablets such as hardness and dissolution profiles. The high percentages of fine particles and build-up of the crystals of LIGAMED MF-2-V guarantee a high lubrication and a good release effect, and therefore economic and profitable production.
