The Tablet Sticking Conundrum
Tablet sticking refers to the phenomenon where tablet granules adhere to the surface of the punch face during the compression process. It’s a challenge that can plague pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies, causing a cascade of production issues such as reduced yields, increased machine downtime, and tablet defects. But what’s the science behind this persistent problem?
Sticking often occurs due to the interplay of various factors, including material properties, tooling design, and the tablet compression process itself. As our Director at Natoli Scientific, Robert Sedlock, explains, “In the intricate world of tablet compression, shaped tooling consistently stands out, primarily due to the comprehensive, incisive data it discloses about your tablet formulation during the compression process. Its aptitude for constructing complex shapes and applying diverse forces provides a matchless insight into the distinctive properties and responses of your formulation throughout compression.”
