<strong>Parteck</strong> M<br />
Directly Compressible<br />
<strong>Mannitol</strong><br />
Main applications<br />
<strong>Mannitol</strong><br />
<strong>Mannitol</strong> is the excipient of choice for a wide variety of<br />
pharmaceutical tabletting applications since <strong>Mannitol</strong> is:<br />
· Non hygroscopic<br />
· Non reactive<br />
· Compatible with amines<br />
· The best choice for taste masking properties<br />
· Insensitive to stearates
Method: Formulation: 99% test<br />
material + 1% magnesium<br />
stearate; 5 min. mixing;<br />
compression: single punch press<br />
(Korsch EK0 DMS, rpm: 54, punch:<br />
11mm, flat, facetted); Tablet<br />
weight: 500 mg (rel. S.D.: 0.5);<br />
<strong>Mannitol</strong> A and B are commercially<br />
available mannitol grades for<br />
direct compression.<br />

<strong>Parteck</strong> M<br />
· Directly compressible <strong>Mannitol</strong><br />
· Unique particle properties<br />
· High compactibility at low compression forces<br />
· Rapid disintegration and dissolution<br />
· High dilution potential<br />
· Excellent flow<br />
· Available in two different particle size distributions<br />
<strong>Parteck</strong> brand products are manufactured by Merck KGaA, Darmstadt,<br />
Germany, under the Functional Particle Engineering concept which allows<br />
the design and control of particle size distribution, modification of the<br />
physical properties of particles, and the processing of excipients together.<br />
<strong>Parteck</strong> M, a superior directly compressible <strong>Mannitol</strong>, is the first product<br />
available in the <strong>Parteck</strong> range. <strong>EMD</strong> <strong>Chemicals</strong> is offering <strong>Parteck</strong> M in<br />
two different particle size distributions: <strong>Parteck</strong> M 200 and <strong>Parteck</strong> M<br />
300.<br />
High compactability at low compression forces<br />
<strong>Parteck</strong> M is produced using a unique technology which offers<br />
distinct advantages in direct compression . Compression with <strong>Parteck</strong><br />
M minimizes the wear and tear on tabletting equipment, this is due to<br />
the open filamentous particle structure of <strong>Parteck</strong> M, which allows the<br />
use of relatively low compression forces. <strong>Parteck</strong> M is free flowing,<br />
which enables it to be used in a variety of dosage forms.<br />

Content uniformity and homogeneity<br />
<strong>Parteck</strong> M has a large surface area and a unique particle structure which allows strong adsorbtion of<br />
active ingredients and prevents segregation during the process. <strong>Parteck</strong> M can be used as a diluent for<br />
low dose formulations where the dose uniformity and the mix of the homogeneity is of the utmost<br />
importance.<br />
<strong>Parteck</strong> M’s improved slow properties and chemical stability increase the ease of handling during<br />
development and production.<br />

<strong>Parteck</strong> M’s unique particle structure and greatly increased surface area facilitates the fast disintegration<br />
of even very hard tablets. Tablets compressed using <strong>Parteck</strong> M disintegrate much faster than<br />
those containing pre-granulated <strong>Mannitol</strong>. Tablets produced with hardness in excess of 405 N disintegrate<br />
within 8 minutes (compressed on rotary press Korsch PH 230/14; 1.5% Magnesium stearate, 20 kN<br />
compression force).<br />

When <strong>Parteck</strong> M is used as a tabletting diluent there is a substantial improvement in the dissolution<br />
time of the active ingredient, hence availability for absorption, is improved. For the tablets containing<br />
either ascorbic acid and <strong>Parteck</strong> M (50/50) or ascorbic acid and granular mannitol (50/50), compressed<br />
to a similar hardness, the 80% of ascorbic acid is dissolved respectively in 10 minutes and 30 minutes.<br />
The choice is yours<br />
High dilution potential<br />
<strong>Parteck</strong> M has been specifically designed as a diluent for the tabletting<br />
of poorly compressible actives. Tablets containing 25% ascorbic acid and<br />
diluted with <strong>Parteck</strong> M 200 do not show any significant loss in<br />
hardness. As a result of its excellent compressibility, <strong>Parteck</strong> M 200<br />
allows the inclusion of a relatively high level of non-directly compressible<br />
actives in the formulation without compromising the quality of the<br />
tablet.<br />
<strong>Parteck</strong> M is available in two different size distributions: M 200 has a narrow particle size distribution<br />
and is ideal for smaller tablets or where mouthfeel is important. For formulations with coarser actives,<br />
larger tablets or effervescent formulations, the M 300 quality is recommended.<br />
