Product Details

CNS No.: 02.006 INS No.: 470
Product Properties: This product is a fine, white, light, and sand-free powder with strong adsorption and hygroscopicity. It feels slippery when in contact with skin. It is mainly composed of magnesium stearate and magnesium palmitate, possessing the dual characteristics of metal salts and fatty acids. The lubricity and hydrophobicity are retained in the food additive magnesium stearate. Its special structure determines its characteristics of being insoluble in water and having a high melting point. It has dispersibility, water resistance, filling properties, homogeneity, and compatibility. It is currently the most widely used anticaking agent. It has advantages such as strong lubricity, good anti-stickiness, light weight, large bulk density, and uniform distribution and good adhesion after mixing with particles, making it不易分开 (not easily separated).
Product Uses: Anticaking agent, emulsifier, lubricant.
Storage: Waterproof, moisture-proof, store in a dry and ventilated place.
Product Application Areas:
[Food Industry] Magnesium stearate food additive can be used as a base material and ingredient in gum-based candies. It can also be used as an emulsifier and anticaking agent in candied fruits, cocoa products, chocolate and chocolate products (including cocoa butter substitute chocolate and products), and candies. In food tablets (such as pressed candies, milk tablets, walnut tablets, dietary fiber tablets, honey tablets, etc.), it can increase the fluidity, anti-stickiness, and lubricity of the materials and improve the gloss of the tablet surface, making the pressed tablets smooth, undamaged, and with small weight differences.
[Pharmaceutical Industry] Pharmaceutical tablet raw materials (excipients, lubricants) are new pharmaceutical excipients, which can be used as film-coating materials for solid preparations, thickeners for colloidal liquid preparations, suspensions, etc.
[Industrial Products] Used in wood flour to make it lubricated, bright, and transparent; in the paint industry as a transparent flatting agent, coatings, plastics, rubber, textiles, etc.

[Daily Chemical Products] In cosmetics, it is used in powder products to enhance adhesion and lubricity, moisturizing ointments, and can also be used as a raw material for pharmaceutical tablets.
