Lubricant excipients are substances that are added to tablet formulations to aid in the tableting process and to improve the flow of powders during the manufacturing of tablets. These excipients reduce friction and prevent the sticking of the tablet material to the surface of the die and punches, allowing for smoother tablet production and reducing the wear and tear on the tableting equipment.
