Usage
Medicine and Pharmaceuticals:
Lubricants and Anti-adhesive Agents – In tablet production, they act as lubricants to prevent tablets from sticking to the tablet press, ensuring smooth production and improving tablet hardness and disintegration.
Controlled-Release Agents and Sustained-Release Agents – They act as controlled-release matrices, forming an inert matrix to control the rate of drug release in the body, achieving long-lasting therapeutic effects.
Cosmetics and Personal Care:
Emulsifiers and Thickeners – They stabilize emulsions and creams, preventing oil-water separation. They increase product viscosity and provide a richer feel.
Emollients – They form a protective film on the skin, reducing water loss and providing moisturizing and hydrating properties.
Food Industry: In food, they act as emulsifiers and anti-crystallization agents, improving the texture of chocolate and preventing fat crystallization.
