Manufacturing aids are lubricants used during tablet and capsule production to prevent ingredients from sticking to equipment. This ensures consistent product quality and efficient manufacturing.
Manufacturing aids are substances used in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries to prevent ingredients from sticking to manufacturing equipment during tablet and capsule production. This ensures smooth and consistent production processes, preventing product loss, maintaining uniform dosage, and reducing equipment downtime. The primary mechanism involves creating a physical barrier between the ingredients and the manufacturing surface, typically by acting as a lubricant or release agent.
