Formulation attributes for optimal encapsulation on machines of different design can vary. Changing Zanasi to H K may require a reduction in the amount of magnesium stearate, even for a formulation without a pronounced drug-lubricant-mixing interaction. With respect to formulation requirements for the Zanasi and H K machines, the following observations have been made [9] ... 

Another group of fats are the all purpose functional shortening or fats which contain 20%-25% solids at which there is sufficient oil for effective lubrication (mixing) and satisfying eating properties.

Each lubricating oil is composed from a main base stock, into which additives are mixed to give the lubricant the properties required for a given application. 

Typically, soHd stabilizers utilize natural saturated fatty acid ligands with chain lengths of Cg—C g. Ziac stearate [557-05-1/, ziac neodecanoate [27253-29-8] calcium stearate [1592-23-0] barium stearate [6865-35-6] and cadmium laurate [2605-44-9] are some examples. To complete the package, the soHd products also contain other soHd additives such as polyols, antioxidants, and lubricants. Liquid stabilizers can make use of metal soaps of oleic acid, tall oil acids, 2-ethyl-hexanoic acid, octylphenol, and nonylphenol. Barium bis(nonylphenate) [41157-58-8] ziac 2-ethyIhexanoate [136-53-8], cadmium 2-ethyIhexanoate [2420-98-6], and overbased barium tallate [68855-79-8] are normally used ia the Hquid formulations along with solubilizers such as plasticizers, phosphites, and/or epoxidized oils. The majority of the Hquid barium—cadmium formulations rely on barium nonylphenate as the source of that metal. There are even some mixed metal stabilizers suppHed as pastes. The U.S. FDA approved calcium—zinc stabilizers are good examples because they contain a mixture of calcium stearate and ziac stearate suspended ia epoxidized soya oil. Table 4 shows examples of typical mixed metal stabilizers. 

Foam Inhibitors. Methyl sihcone polymers of 300-1000 mm /s(= cSt)) at 40°C are effective additives at only 3—150 ppm for defoaming oils in internal combustion engines, turbines, gears, and aircraft appHcations. Without these additives, severe churning and mixing of oil with air may sometimes cause foam to overflow from the lubrication system or interfere with normal oil circulation. Because sihcone oil is not completely soluble in oil, it forms a dispersion of minute droplets of low surface tension that aid in breaking foam bubbles. 

Regulations generally prohibit disposal of lubricants in streams, chemical dumps, or other environmental channels. Over half of disposed lubricants are burned as fuel, usually mixed with virgin residual and distillate fuels (77). 

Lubricants protect die and punch surfaces from wear and bum-out of the compact during sintering without objectionable effects or residues. They must have small particle size, and overcome the main share of friction generated between tool surfaces and powder particles during compaction and ejection. They must mix easily with the powder, and must not excessively impede powder flow (see Lubrication and lubricants). 

Hexa, which is not suppHed with the resin, is usuaUy added either with the water as a solution or just before or immediately after the water addition. By quenching the mix with water, the resin-coated sand is cooled to a point where there is no significant reaction with the curing agent. Any reaction between the resin and the hexa in the muller affects the bonding properties of the coated sand. As the batch cools and begins to break up, more lubricant may be added, which remains on the outside of the coated grains where it is most effective.
