Overview of Magnesium stearate

What is Magnesium Stearate ?

Magnesium stearateis also known as magnesium octadecanoic a metal derivative made from sodium stearate and magnesium. It is a white, fine powder with no sand; it has a distinctive smell and a slippery sensation when it comes in contact with the skin. This product is insoluble water either ethanol or ether and is utilized primarily as an anti-adhesive, lubricant and glidant. It is especially suitable for the preparation of oils and extracts, and the prepared granules offer excellent compressibility and fluidity. It is used as a flow aid for direct compression. It can also serve as an aid in filtering, as a clarifying agent, and a foaming agent, in addition to the suspension agent and thickening agent in liquid preparations.

Application areas of Magnesium Stearate:

1. Magnesium-stearate is commonly used in the manufacture of medicines and health products

Magnesium Sterarate is a unique accessory material that is used as a film-forming material that is used in solid formulations. as a thickener to prepare liquids for suspensions for suspension, similar things. Magnesium stearate is not toxic and edible. It is also used as an additive for health products. It is mostly used in the form of a film coating for tablets since it helps release health care products in precise timings as required as well as lubrication. Active ingredient.

2 . magnesium stearate is a component of cosmetics

Magnesium stearate can be found in powdery cosmetics, like talcum, blush, powder eye shadows, etc. It helps improve the adhesion as well as the lubricity of various powders for the skin, specifically covering smoothing, extending, and stretching. Adhesion, absorption, etc.

3. Magnesium stearate is a component of food

Magnesium stearate is used primarily for pressed foods (tablet candy and milk tablets, nuts chips and dietary fiber tablets honey tablets and others. ) that can improve the fluidity, anti-stickiness, and lubricity of the material and enhance its surface. The gloss makes the tablets complete and smooth . It also needs to be processed in addition.

In addition, magnesium stearate often used to make coatings and rubbers, plastics, textile, and other industrial areas.

It is a great lubricating and dispersion stabilizing analyte. It can also be utilized as an aid to filtering, clarifying agent, foaming agent, as well as the thickener and suspending agent used in liquid formulations.

Magnesium Stearate harmful to human bodies

Magnesium stearate is insoluble in water and organic solutions but is highly soluble when heated acidic and ethanol. When the body consumes magnesium , it in chemical reaction with gastric acid , resulting in stearic acid and magnesium chloride. Magnesium chloride is soluble in water so that the body will be able to flush it out via sweat and urine. Additionally, that stearic acid can be used up and then absorbed into the body. Therefore, magnesium stearate does not cause any harm to our body.
