Versatile Pharmaceutical Excipient: Aluminum magnesium silicate can function as an adsorbent, stabilizer, suspending agent, disintegrant, binder, and thickener in tablets, capsules, and other formulations.
Enhances Gel Viscosity: Incorporation of MAS into aqueous gels, such as diclofenac sodium gels, increases viscosity, improving product consistency.
Improves Flow Properties: It can transform formulations from Newtonian to pseudoplastic flow with thixotropic behavior, aiding in controlled application and stability.
Widely Applicable in Formulations: Its multifunctional properties make it suitable for use in a range of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products requiring structural support and improved texture.
Aluminum Magnesium Silicate (2:1:2) CAS# 12511-31-8
Aluminum magnesium silicate appears as a white powder, granules, or plates. It serves as a versatile pharmaceutical excipient, functioning as an adsorbent, stabilizer, suspending agent, disintegrant for tablets and capsules, binder, and thickener.
When incorporated into diclofenac sodium (DS) aqueous gels, MAS significantly increases viscosity and changes the flow behavior from Newtonian to pseudoplastic with thixotropic properties, enhancing the gel’s texture and stability.
