Magnesium Stearate 557-04-0 Magnesium stearate price
1. Description:
Magnesium stearate is a very fine, light white, precipitated or milled, impalpable powder of low bulk density, having a faint odor
of stearic acid and a characteristic taste. The powder is greasy to the touch and readily adheres to the skin.
2. Applications in Pharmaceutical Formulation or Technology
Magnesium stearate is widely used in cosmetics, foods, and pharmaceutical formulations. It is primarily used as a lubricant in
capsule and tablet manufacture at concentrations between 0.25% and 5.0%w/w. It is also used in barrier creams.
3. Typical Properties
Crystalline forms High-purity magnesium stearate has been isolated as a trihydrate, a dihydrate, and an anhydrate.
Density (bulk) 0.159 g/cm3
Density (tapped) 0.286 g/cm3
Density (true) 1.092 g/cm3
Flash point 2508C
Flowability Poorly flowing, cohesive powder.
Melting range:
117–1508C (commercial samples);
126–1308C (high purity magnesium stearate).
NIR spectra see as below
Solubility Practically insoluble in ethanol, ethanol (95%), ether and water; slightly soluble in warm benzene and warm ethanol (95%).
Specific surface area: 1.6–14.8m2/g
