Description

Emdex is a high-purity, directly compressible excipient widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. Its primary value lies in providing excellent flowability, binding properties, and consistent compressibility for the manufacture of solid dosage forms. This product is essential for formulators and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors seeking reliable performance in tablet and capsule production. Emdex CAS NO 66828-18-0 is a critical component for ensuring product uniformity and manufacturing efficiency.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Tableting: As a primary direct compression excipient for a wide range of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Nutraceutical Capsules & Tablets: Used in vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplement formulations for its excellent compaction properties.
• Controlled-Release Formulations: Serves as a diluent and binder in matrix systems for modified drug release.
• Chewable Tablet Production: Valued for its smooth texture and pleasant mouthfeel in orally disintegrating dosage forms.
• Powder Blending & Granulation: Acts as a flow aid and bulking agent in powder mixes intended for further processing.
• Food-Grade Applications: Employed as an anti-caking agent and carrier in certain food ingredient systems.

Quality Control

Our Emdex is manufactured and tested to meet stringent pharmaceutical-grade specifications. Quality assurance protocols are designed to ensure batch-to-batch consistency, purity, and performance in direct compression applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, particle size distribution, and compressibility are provided with each shipment. Production adheres to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) guidelines.

Storage

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