Magnesium Stearate (CAS 557-04-0) is a hydrophobic lubricant synthesized via saponification of magnesium salts with stearic acid. Its molecular formula is C36H70MgO4.
Not recommended for high-dose sustained-release formulations due to potential dissolution delays. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent clumping. Wear appropriate PPE during handling to avoid respiratory irritation.
