Diatomite-Filter Aid For Pharmaceutical Industry
1： Using diatomite as super disintegrating agent to prepare drug dosage form, in which diatomite mixed with drug active ingredients or natural mineral mixture containing diatomite is used as filler in solid drug dosage form, which is a function of drug excipient used in drug formulation. The most important function of using other additives to adjust the action mode, stability, release of active ingredients and sensory characteristics of drug formulations is to provide a consistent mass proportion and dose of active ingredients.
II. In addition to active ingredients, diatomite or natural mineral mixture containing diatomite is used as filler. Diatomite or mineral mixture containing diatomite is used as filler in diatomite, which is more advantageous to prepare the preparation by compression. Compared with the raw materials used for filling purposes in the operation of pharmaceutical preparations, diatomite shows several favorable characteristics, which makes it very suitable for filling in pharmaceutical preparations. Diatomite can be compressed even in the absence of any other tablet pressing AIDS. The special advantage of using diatomite as filler lies in the fact that diatomite is easy to wet, which supports the appropriate distribution of solvents (such as water, alcohols and diols) in the process of pharmaceutical technical operation (tablet preparation, granulation and coating).
III. It is easily soaked by water, aqueous granulation liquid, diols, alcohols, organic solvent oils and waxes. Wetting is an adsorption process managed by capillary force without forming chemical bonds. The wetting solvent can be removed quickly and easily by drying from the surface of diatomite. Diatomite is resistant to water and solvents, and it may adsorb 140% by weight of the liquid without changing the consistency. Another advantage of diatomite is that it is biologically inert, almost does not react with the human body, and even if there is a reaction, it is beneficial to organisms. Diatomite is not adsorbed in the body and it is excreted in an unchanged form. It is assumed that a very small amount of silicone is adsorbed from an amorphous silicate (a salt of silicate), which improves the body's defense} ability and nourishes the skin.
[main use in pharmaceutical industry]:
① Diatomite is the preferred diatomite in glucose filling
② brine
③ eye drops
④ oral solution
⑤ antibiotics and vitamins
⑥ extract of Chinese herbal medicine
