T-Miles Magnesium stearate is a white substance that has two equivalents of stearate and one magnesium cation. It is safe for human consumption. It is often used as a filling agent in the manufacture of supplement capsules.
This substance has lubricating properties and prevents ingredients from sticking to manufacturing equipment during the compression of chemical powders into capsules or tablets. Most pharmaceutical formulations include a certain amount of lubricant to improve their flowability and prevent their adhesion to the surfaces of processing equipment.
Solubility: insoluble in water, ethanol and ether, soluble in hot water and ether, and decomposed into stearic acid and corresponding magnesium salt when exposed to acid.
Characteristics:color loose powder, feel creamy, insoluble in water, ethanol and ether, soluble in hot water, ether, case acid decomposition of stearic acid and the corresponding magnesium salt. In room temperature water solubility of 77-79mg / L, soluble in hot ethanol. The acid is decomposed into stearic acid and the corresponding magnesium salt. Micro-special smell, a creamy feeling.
Application in cosmetics: For powder cosmetics ingredients, can improve adhesion and lubricity.Application in food: In the creation of pressed candies, magnesium stearate acts as a release agent and it is used to bind sugar in hard candies such as mints.
