Solve tablet stickiness with the iSpray—ensure quality and efficiency in powder compression with external lubrication.

In the world of oral solid dosage (OSD) formulations, tablets are a favored drug delivery method due to their ease of use and versatility. Nevertheless, the process of compressing powder into tablets presents significant challenges, particularly with regard to stickiness, which can compromise manufacturing efficiency and product integrity. Several issues can complicate powder compression, including:

  • Die wall friction
  • Punch face sticking
  • High ejection force

These complications often culminate in poor product outcomes, most notably tablet capping.

Internal vs. External Lubrication

Addressing the sticking issues can be effectively managed by implementing lubrication, utilizing either internal or external methods.
