LACTOPRESS®

Directly Compressible Lactose USP/NF, EP, JP

 

Lactopress is a white, free flowing directly compressible Lactose powder. It is available in two forms; spray dried and anhydrous with different particle sizes distributions. The good flowability of these powders in combination with excellent compactibility characteristics make them ideal for direct compression tabletting. These products are also suitable for applications that require only excellent flowability.

Lactopress Anhydrous is characterized by superior dissolution and excellent binding properties. It consists mainly of the beta-isomer of lactose, which contains no water of crystallization and the free moisture content is low. Lactopress anhydrous does not absorb water even at high relative humidity which makes it the best choice for use in direct compression of moisture sensitive actives.

 Application

Lactopress Anhydrous 250

Roller dried DC Lactose, Coarse particle size

As low moisture DC binder and filler in tablets and capsules. Improves stability of
moisture sensitive actives as well as their dissolution due to it’s high intrinsic solubility.
Lactopress Anhydrous Fine Powder Roller dried DC Lactose,
Fine particle size

Lactopress spray-dried is produced by spray-drying a suspension of small crystals of lactose monohydrate. It consists mainly of spherical particles resulting in excellent flowability and binding. Lactopress spray-dried contains up to 15% amorphous lactose, which ensures low friction with the die wall, preventing capping behavior. It is therefore highly effective in modern, high-speed tabletting machines.
