Products Description of Magnesium Stearate CAS#557-04-0

Magnesium stearate is a multifunctional additive used in food (emulsifier, lubricant, etc.) and pharmaceuticals (tablet/capsule excipient). Its lubricating effect stems from hydrophobicity. Non-toxic and approved for food contact globally, it is listed in major pharmacopoeias with defined quality specifications.


Product Applications of Magnesium Stearate CAS#557-04-0

Magnesium stearate (E470b) is the most widely used pharmaceutical tablet lubricant/anti-adherent, which may affect drug release time but not bioavailability. It is also used in hard candies and infant formula. Available in animal- and vegetable-derived grades, it is a key component of soap scum formed in hard water.
