Overview of Magnesium stearate

What exactly is Magnesium stearate ?

Magnesium Stearate, also referred to as magnesium octadecanoic is a metal derivative made from sodium stearate and magnesium. It is a white, fine powder that is free of sand. it has a distinct odor; it has a slippery sensation when it comes in contact with the skin. This powder is insoluble in water but can be dissolved in ether, ethanol or even water and is used primarily as the lubricant, anti-adhesive and glidant. It is especially suitable for the granulation of oils and extracts and the granules produced possess excellent fluidity and compressibility. It is used as a flow aid for direct compression. It can also be used as an aid to filtering, a clarifying agent, as well as a foaming agent, and also as suspended agent, and thickening agent for liquid preparations.

The application areas of Magnesium stearate:

1. Magnesium is an ingredient in medicines and health products

Magnesium Stearate is a new additive that can be used as a film-forming coating substance suitable for preparations of solids as a thickener to prepare liquids for suspensions such as suspensions, the like. Magnesium-stearate is neither toxic nor edible. It is also employed as an ingredient in healthcare products. It is mostly used as a coating for tablets as it will help release health products at precise times as needed as well as lubrication. Active ingredient.

2. . magnesium stearate that is used in cosmetics

3. Magnesium Stearate can be used in food items.

Magnesium stearate is used primarily on foods that have been pressed (tablet candy, milk tablets, nut chips as well as dietary fibre tablets, honey tablets, etc. ) This can increase liquidity, antistickiness and lubricity as well as improve its surface. The gloss helps make the tablets complete and smooth . It also is a requirement for process addition.

In addition, magnesium stearate extensively used in coatings such as rubber, plastics textiles, and various other industrial areas.

It is an excellent lubricating and dispersion stabilizing analyte. It is also used as an aid to filtering, a clarifying agent, a foaming agent, and thickener and suspending agent to prepare liquids.

Magnesium stearate A danger for the human body

Magnesium Sterate is insoluble organic solutions and water and organic solutions, but it is soluble in hot acid and ethanol. When the body ingestions magnesium Stearate, magnesium has a chemical reaction that reacts to gastric acid to form magnesium chloride and stearic acid. Magnesium sulfide is soluble in water . It can flush it out through sweat and urine. Furthermore, the acid can be digested and absorbed by the body. Therefore, magnesium Stearate does not cause any harm to our body.
