Alubra®

High Performance Lubricant

What is it?

Alubra® PG 100 is a fine, white to off-white powder used as a hydrophilic lubricant in capsule and tablet formulations.

The fumarate moiety of Alubra® increases its melting temperature, which allows for greater functionality at high press speeds while the stearate chain maintains the lubricity of the compound, supporting low ejection forces.

What is it used for?

Orodispersible tablets
Capsules
Effervescent dosage forms
Formulations containing poorly water-soluble drugs

Benefits

Compared with the widely used lubricant magnesium stearate, Alubra® offers:

Enhanced dissolution
Compatibility with a range of APIs
Flexibility in blending
Improved compactability
Similar lubrication performance
Better tablet quality
