Compressed tablets
A wide range of solutions for compressed tablets
Our minerals make ideal glidants, lubricants and diluents for compressed tablets. Our talcs are used as lubricants and glidants in compressed tablets, and our calcium carbonates are excellent diluent solutions for wet granulated products or when high whiteness is required. Our minerals are all suitable for swallowable, chewable and effervescent compressed tablet production.
We recommend:
- Our Calcius™ precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) as a diluent for wet granulated products and for whiteness
- Our Luzenac Pharma talc* range as flow agents and lubricants
