Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 02/23/2019 --Magnesium Stearate Market: Introduction

Magnesium stearate is an inorganic chemical compound. Its molecular formula is Mg(C18H35O2)2. Magnesium stearate is formed by the reaction of sodium stearate with magnesium salts or by reacting magnesium oxide with stearic acid. Sodium stearate employed in manufacturing magnesium stearate, which is derived vegetable stearic acid. Magnesium stearate is soap scum & magnesium stearate consisting of two equivalents of stearate and one magnesium cat-ion (Mg2+). Magnesium stearate is a white, water insoluble powder. It is considered to be safe for human consumption at levels below 2500 mg/kg per day. Magnesium stearate has characteristics such as softness, insolubility in solvents, and low toxicity. It is employed as a releasing agent and lubricant in the production of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

Magnesium stearate is used as anti-adherent in the manufacture of medical tablets, capsules, and powders. It has lubricating properties that prevent ingredients from sticking to manufacturing equipment during the compression of chemical powders into solid tablets. Furthermore, it can cause wettability and slow the fragmentation of tablets and reduce dissolution of the drug. Magnesium stearate acts as a release agent and is employed to bind sugar in hard candies such as mints. Magnesium stearate is employed in dry coating processes. Rise in demand for magnesium stearate in the medicinal industry is expected to drive the magnesium stearate market during the forecast period.
