PRODUCT DETAILS
1. Product Description
Tablet glidant silicon dioxide is a dedicated glidant for tablet production. It strictly complies with global pharmacopoeia standards including ChP, USP and EP, and is produced through a precision powder modification process. It features excellent flowability and uniform dispersion, with no impurities or caking, and heavy metal and microbial residues are strictly controlled within pharmacopoeia limits. Its core focus is to improve the flowability of tablet powders, reduce friction between powder particles, and eliminate problems such as punch sticking and tablet weight variation during compression. With stable physicochemical properties and no interaction with the various components of tablets, it does not affect disintegration or dissolution, making it well suited to high-speed, large-scale tablet production by overseas pharmaceutical companies.

3. Application Description
It is applicable to the production of various tablet dosage forms for overseas pharmaceutical companies (including conventional tablets, sustained-release tablets, dispersible tablets and enteric-coated tablets). As a dedicated glidant, it solves pain points in the compression process such as poor powder flowability, punch sticking and large tablet weight variation, improving high-speed compression efficiency and tablet surface finish. It is highly compatible with tablet fillers and disintegrants, and is widely used in the large-scale production of chemical drugs, generic drugs and traditional Chinese medicine tablets.
4. Factory Advantages
We have a dedicated production line for tablet glidants, certified under GMP and ISO9001, and equipped with specialized flowability testing equipment to strictly control batch-to-batch flowability differences. We export to more than 30 countries and have established long-term cooperation with numerous global pharmaceutical companies. Particle size can be optimized on demand to suit different high-speed tableting equipment, with a delivery time of 5–10 days and technical support for glidant applications.
5. Shipping & Packaging
- Standard packaging: 10/20/25 kg pharmaceutical-grade paper-plastic composite bags with a moisture-proof PE inner liner to prevent moisture absorption from affecting flowability;
- Storage and transportation: store sealed in a cool, ventilated place; a non-hazardous material supporting global sea/air freight and meeting international pharmaceutical raw material standards;
- Labeling: customizable multi-language labels indicating its dedicated tablet glidant nature, pharmacopoeia standards, batch number and expiry date.
6
Q: Can this glidant adapt to high-speed tableting equipment and improve compression efficiency?
A: Yes, it is fully compatible. The powder flowability has been specially optimized to significantly improve high-speed tableting efficiency and eliminate problems such as punch sticking and tablet weight variation.
Q: Will an excessively high dosage affect the tablet disintegration rate?
A: No, it will not. The dosage complies with pharmacopoeia limits, the physicochemical properties are stable, and there is no interaction with drug components, so it does not affect tablet disintegration or drug release.
