Frequently asked questions for Magnesium Stearate and its applications
-
The particle size distribution measured by laser diffraction is available for each product in their product profiles. The table below gathers all those values:
Roquette Magnesium Stearate LS Roquette Magnesium Stearate Roquette Magnesium Stearate HS Specific surface area Below 5 m2 / g Between 5 and 10 m2 / g Above 10 m2 / g D10 (µm) 6.8 1.4 4.3 D50 (µm) 14.8 7.8 10.7 D90 (µm) 33.1 27.5 22.8 Note that the values obtained from the measurement of particle size distribution are known to vary between methods and equipment. Since each method has its own working principles and inherent limitations, the results obtained may be highly dependent on and/or specific to the method employed. Comparisons between samples should be made when the same method/procedure is employed.
