LIGAMED MF-2-K-BI-MB

LIGAMED MF-2-V is our most widely used excipient for the production of tablets and capsules. Its high specific surface area and fine particles offer a high releasing speed during tablet pressing and consistent physical performance of the tablets such as hardness and dissolution profiles. Due to the exceptional high specific surface area, typical quantity used during formulation is low: 0,2 % to 1 % by tablet weight. In addition to the application as a tableting agent, this product is also used as a flowability agent for powder preblends, offering an efficient and low dosage in capsules.

Some pharmaceutical formulations include vegetable based Calcium Stearate instead of Magnesium Stearate. Our LIGAMED CPR-2-V is a perfect choice encompassing all core LIGAMED® pharmaceutical excipient principles. LIGAMED CPR-2-V is also used as a water repellent agent in the production of effervescent tablets. Premature reaction of the effervescent tablet is avoided by preventing unwanted absorption of moisture.

PALMSTAR AL PHARMA is one of our Aluminium Stearates with the best gelling performance capabilities. It is very suitable as an emulsion stabilizer and viscosity increasing agent for creams and ointments. Additionally, pharmaceutical applications use it as an anti-caking agent or suspending agent. PALMSTAR AL PHARMA is in accordance with the European pharmacopeia.

LIGAMED MF-2-K is produced in accordance with strict Kosher and Halal regulations and offers the respective certifications. These certificates are required for OTC pharmaceutical and nutraceutical preparations in Jewish and Arab cultures. Kosher and Halal certification has also become an important quality standard requested by European formulators.

LIGAMED MF-2-K-MB is the RSPO Mass Balance certified alternative product for LIGAMED MF-2-V and LIGAMED MF-2-K. It offers the same positive properties as the standards product but is produced with RSPO Mass Balance certified fatty acid.

This variation of our LIGAMED MF-2-V offers a tighter specific surface area range in combination with the favourable crystalline structure of LIGAMED MF-2-V. This grade supports a lower dissolution profile and is used in special formulations as tablet coatings, where a low and stable viscosity is required.

For highly complex pharmaceutical applications (e.g. inhalation medicine) we have developed our LIGAMED MF-2-V PREMIUM. This specialty grade has a high quality specification with additional tests for the fatty acid profile, particle size characterization and microbial count.

LIGAMED MF-3-V grade is characterised by the same unique properties as LIGAMED MF-2-V but in addition MF-3-V offers an even higher specific surface area and a smaller median particle size. This product is preferred in applications where processing conditions are more critical and very fine excipients or herbal formulations are used.

LIGAMED MF-3-K is produced in accordance with strict Kosher and Halal regulations and offers the respective certifications. These certificates are required for OTC pharmaceutical and nutraceutical preparations in Jewish and Arab cultures. Kosher and Halal certification has also become an important quality standard requested by European formulators.

LIGAMED MF-3-K-MB is the RSPO Mass Balance certified alternative product for LIGAMED MF-3-V and LIGAMED MF-3-K. It offers the same positive properties as the standards product but is produced with RSPO Mass Balance certified fatty acid.

LIGAMED MF BLS extends our existing product portfolio of Magnesium Stearates and is produced according to a special production process. Offering the specific characteristic of being water dispersible, this product is very suitable for the use within water-soluble drugs. Due to the water dispersibility it is also very suitable for wet granulation process.

With our RSPO Mass Balance and Segregated certified products we support the use of sustainably grown palm oil. Our site in Venlo uses 100 % RSPO Mass Balance certified fatty acids for some years now and additionally also uses some RSPO Segregated certified fatty acids.
