Benefits:
- As a sustained release skeleton material:
Suitable for a wide range of tabletting process: direct tabletting, wet granulation, dry granulation and hot melt granulation;
PH-independent drug release;
Burst-free drug release related to ethanol;
Drug release through diffusion mechanism to avoid burst effect;
Without digestion and high physiological tolerance.
2. As a lubricant:
No effect on disintegration time and drug release;
Improve compressibility in tablet and capsule production;
Do not interfere with drug testing;
Do not reduce tablet hardness;
Acid drugs can use it.
Safety: Generally considered non-toxic and non-irritating.
Storage: Preserve in tight containers at a temperature not higher than 35°
