Read more to find out how each ingredient contributes to making Firmapress an effective formula:
Microcrystalline Cellulose: Microcrystalline cellulose is an easy flowing powder that adds bulk and weight to your pill mix. It offers strong bonding qualities while retaining high flowability, which ensures it is spread evenly throughout your mixture. As an inert substance, it won’t react with other ingredients. It’s an all-around beneficial ingredient that makes every part of the creation process easier.
Magnesium Stearate: Magnesium is the prime lubricant of the formula. It reduces friction at the point of contact between a tablet surface and the die wall during production, reducing damage to your freshly made tablet. It will prevent your formula from sticking to the machine and it is unaffected by process variables (for example, flow, temperature, pressure and level) which occur spontaneously. Magnesium stearate ensures that these surprises don’t affect the pill process. Just like microcrystalline cellulose, it has a high flow rate and is inert.
Silicon Dioxide: Silicon dioxide absorbs liquid with ease, turning liquid ingredients into a free-flowing powder that can be implemented into your formula. It acts as a glidant, which will improve flow qualities but still promotes quick tableting. This ingredient will also reduce trace quantities of moisture which can damage your machines over time.
Di-Calcium Phosphate: A commonly used filler, this ingredient ensures that your tablets will have uniform content and increases compressibility capabilities. In other words, your tablets can be shaped and solidified with ease.
Each of these excipients provides unique benefits to your tableting mix and ensures binding issues and flowing issues and problems of the past. Let Firmapress® take care of the technicalities and leaving you to focus on refining the rest of your formula or growing your business.
