Ludipress Uses

• Ludipress is used as a tablet binder and products tablets of good hardness and low friability, which are obtainable even at low compression forces. Ludipress contains one of the most effective tablet disintegrants, Kollidon CL, which ensures that the tablets begin to disintegrate within seconds, in spite of their hardness.
• The advanges of using Ludipress for tablet making include the excellent flowability, the high binding power and the high crushing strength.

Information on Ludipress

The special production process for Ludipress gives the user, an excipient;

- In which the combination of the individual properties of the components is greater than their sum.

- Whose carefully controlled particle size distribution, high bulk density and low hygroscopicity combine to give excellent flowability.

- That forms homogenous mixtures with active ingredients giving tablets with excellent uniformity of mass and content.

- Which produces tablets of good hardness and low friability, obtainable even at low compression forces and independently of tabletting speed.

- With low hygroscopicity exerting a beneficial influence on the mixing process, the stability of the active ingredients and of the tablet itself.

The advantages of direct compression are obvious. After the individual components have been weighed out and blended, the mixture can be compressed directly. As no labour-intensive granulation step is required, high quality tablets are obtained more quickly and with less costs.

Excellent flowability, low water absorption, ideal particle size distribution, no segregation of active ingredients, and high binding capacity are the key features of Ludipress that make for trouble-free processing. Direct compression is also very gentle on your active ingredients.
