MAGNABRITE®

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate USP/NF, BP


Magnabrite product range are highly refined, naturally occurring, complex colloidal white smectite clays i.e. Magnesium Aluminum Silicates manufactured to meet the specifications of the USP/NF and BP. Chemically Magnesium Aluminum Silicate is a blend of colloidal montmorillonite and saponite that has been processed to remove grit and non- swellable ore components. The plate-like structure and colloidal nature of Magnabrite contributes to a wide range of applications – for stabilization of emulsions, as a suspending agent, thickener, rheology modifier, binder, and as a tablet disintegrant. Magnabrite is available in different particle sizes and varying viscosity to suit the end-user.
