Excipients

Sodium Stearyl Fumarate

Sodium stearyl fumarate (SSF) is a fine, white powder. Odorless powder derived from stearyl alcohol and fumaric acid. This excipient functions primarily as a highly effective lubricant and glidant within pharmaceutical formulations, particularly in the tableting process. They are used to enhance the flowability of a powder by reducing the interparticle friction, surface charge, and cohesion.

Why Choose Prachin for Sodium Stearyl Fumarate

Possesses superior lubricating properties, reducing friction between tablet ingredients and manufacturing equipment

Prevents sticking and picking issues during tableting, improving tablet appearance and production efficiency

SSF dissolves readily, potentially improving dissolution profiles compared to traditional water-insoluble lubricants

Enhances powder flowability for consistent filling of tablet dies

Promotes smooth tablet ejection from the press

Demonstrates good compatibility with a wide range of active ingredients

Typically used in smaller concentrations compared to some other lubricants

Common Applications
