STEROPAX

A New Concept in Pharma Lubrication

STEROPAX is a much suitable lubricant than any other traditional lubricant especially wherever stability is at stake. Steropax is a non-metallic stearic complex (Silico- stearic in nature). Therefore Steropax does not catalyses hydrolyses of Aspirin as is the case with the use of Magnesium stearate. Steropax does not interfere in the stability of Vitamin groups in tablets and capsule formulation.

Steropax does not increase Disintegration Time of tablets even on long storage where as Magnesium stearate always affects disintegration time adversely. Steropax gives pearly shine to tablets as compared to other traditional lubricants.



RELATIVE PROPERTIES WITH OTHER TABLET LUBRICANTS

Material Usual Concentration
(In %)		 Glidant Properties Anti-Adherent Properties Lubricant Properies
Metallic-stearate 1 or less None Good Excellent
Talcum powder 1 to 5 Good Excellent Poor
Stearic acid 1 to 5 None Poor Good
High melting-point waxes 3 to 5 None Poor Excellent
Corn starch 5 to 10 Excellent Excellent Poor
STEROPAX 1 to 2 Good Excellent Excellent

 

 

CONCLUSION:

STEROPAX is a much suitable lubricant than any other traditional lubricant especially wherever stability is at stake
