Compressed tablets Imerys talcs - ideal excipients, lubricants and flow agents for compressed tablets
Imerys talcs are chemically inert and have a stabilizing effect on active ingredients making them ideal excipients, lubricants and flow agents for tablets.
Used as a flow agent, Imerys talcs:
- Reduce fluctuations in tablet weight
- Enhance tablet homogeneity and quality
- Increase productivity
They also act as high surface area lubricants for tablet presses, where they:
- Reduce friction
- Prevent binding during compressing and ejection
- Guarantee impeccable, smooth, crack-free results
We recommend:
- Our Luzenac Pharma and Luzenac 00 range as flow regulators
- Our ultramicronized grade Luzenac Pharma UM for tablet pressing
Compliance
