Lubrication: Now Easy-to-Use for R&D Lab Environment
By MEDELPHARMLubricants are often required to minimise friction between a tablet surface and the die walls during the ejection phase of the compression cycle.
In turn, the reduced friction minimises the wear of punches and dies and avoid that tablets are stressed and damaged when ejected from the die cavity.
Besides decreasing the friction that has often been described as the true role of a lubricant, lubricants can also serve as anti-adherent and glidant.
