Description

Magnesium Myristate is a fine, white powder consisting of the magnesium salt of myristic acid. This compound serves as a highly effective and versatile multifunctional additive, prized for its lubricating, anti-caking, and stabilizing properties. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries seeking to improve product flow, texture, and stability. Magnesium Myristate CAS NO 4086-70-8 is engineered to meet stringent quality standards for reliable performance in demanding formulations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Tablet & Capsule Manufacturing: Primarily used as a lubricant and glidant in solid dosage forms to ensure smooth powder flow, prevent sticking to tooling, and facilitate high-speed tablet compression.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Products: Functions as a texture enhancer, anti-caking agent, and bulking powder in products like pressed powders, eyeshadows, blushes, and deodorants to improve application and feel.
• Food Additive (where compliant): Acts as an anti-caking agent, binder, and emulsifier in powdered food products to maintain free-flowing properties and prevent clumping.
• Polymer & Plastics Industry: Serves as an acid scavenger, lubricant, and release agent in the processing of various polymers to improve mold release and surface finish.
• Powder Coating & Paints: Used as a flow aid and flattening agent to improve the application properties and finish of powder coatings and certain paint formulations.
• Industrial Lubricants & Greases: Employed as a thickener and component in the formulation of specialty greases and solid lubricants.

Quality Control

Our Magnesium Myristate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested against comprehensive specifications to ensure consistency, purity, and performance for its intended application. We can supply material compliant with relevant standards such as USP/NF, FCC, or in-house technical grades. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect flow properties.
