Lubripharm^® Sodium Stearyl Fumarate (SSF) is a tablet lubricant for use in traditional and orally disintegrating tablets, effervescent formulas, or in formulas where the active is incompatible with magnesium stearate. 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.

Lower Ejection Forces

Reduces attrition to tablet

Faster Disintegration Times

Improved disintegration time is essential to ODT systems

Less Hydrophobic than magnesium stearate

Less Sensitive to Overblending

Improves processing rates
