    Product Overview

    What is Magnesium Stearate?

    Magnesium Stearate is the magnesium salt of stearic and palmitic fatty acids, supplied as a fine, light, white powder with a greasy feel. It is practically insoluble in water and ethanol, and its lamellar particles shear easily, which is what lets it coat powder particles and reduce friction during tableting.

    Its main use is as a lubricant in tablets and capsules, typically at 0.25–5% w/w, where it stops powder sticking to punches and dies and lets tablets eject cleanly. It is also used as an anti-caking and flow agent in food supplements (E470b), in cosmetic powders and as a lubricant and stabiliser in plastics and rubber.

    As an established chemical supplier in the UAE, Chelora Chemicals sources Magnesium Stearate from approved manufacturers with a controlled stearic / palmitic ratio, particle size and surface area, and delivers it to customers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain, as well as export customers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Africa and South Asia.

    Safe Handling

    Storage & handling guidance

    Low-hazard excipient. Magnesium Stearate is not classified as hazardous, but as an ultra-fine organic powder it can form combustible dust clouds and may irritate the eyes and respiratory tract. Always refer to the supplied SDS for the classification of the grade supplied.

    • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sun.
    • Keep containers tightly closed to protect from moisture and odours.
    • Keep away from strong acids, strong oxidisers and incompatible materials listed in the SDS.
    • Wear gloves, goggles and a dust mask when handling powder.
    • Use local exhaust ventilation and avoid creating dust clouds.
    • Sweep up spills without raising dust and dispose of as per UAE regulations.
