Fluidizers
Fluidizers are substances that are added to a powder or granular material to improve its flow characteristics. They work by reducing inter-particle forces, which can cause powders to clump together or stick to surfaces, hindering their movement. Common mechanisms include coating particles to make them smoother, creating a barrier to prevent electrostatic attraction, or introducing small particles that act as ball bearings between larger ones.
In the pharmaceutical industry, fluidizers are crucial for processes like tablet compression and capsule filling. They
Beyond pharmaceuticals, fluidizers find applications in various industries. In the food industry, they are used in
