Description

Since it is less hydrophobic than magnesium stearate it provides better stability.

Sodium Stearyl Fumarate, NF, EP, JP
Lubripharm Sodium Stearyl Fumarate (SSF) is an inert, less hydrophobic alternative to magnesium stearate as a pharmaceutical tablet lubricant. Tablets made with Lubripharm SSF exhibit less sensitivity to variations in blending time and lubricant levels and have functionally superior hardness characteristics compared to tablets produced with magnesium stearate.
