Lubricants are added to tablet formulations primarily to reduce friction between the die wall and granules as the tablet is formed and ejected (Sprowl, 1974; Lachman et al., 1970). The other main activities attributed to a lubricant are: (a) prevention of sticking of granules to the tooling-anti-adherent; and (b) improvement of granule flow properties-glidant (Lachman et al., 1970). A given lubricant may provide one or more of these actions to varying degrees but no one material is highly efficient in all categories (Sperandeo and De Machi, 1976; Strickland, 1959; Sprowl, 1974).

What is the relationship between lubricity and viscosity in terms of their impact on the performance of a lubricant?

The relationship between lubricity and viscosity in a lubricant is that lubricity refers to the ability of the lubricant to reduce friction between moving parts, while viscosity refers to the thickness or flowability of the lubricant. A lubricant with high lubricity and appropriate viscosity can improve the performance of machinery by reducing friction and wear on parts, leading to smoother operation and potentially longer lifespan of the equipment.


Do lubricant lessen friction?

Yes it does - that's the whole point of using lubricant. It minimises friction between two surfaces.


What is a lubricant and what is its puropose?

A lubricant is any substance that may be introduced in a thin layer between two surfaces that are in relative motion to reduce the friction between them. Please see the link.


What is the difference between hydrodynamic lubrication and electrohydrodynamic lubrication?

The difference is that hydrodynamic lubrication requires the motion of the moving parts that are to be lubricated to pump the actual lubricant. Electrohydrodynamic lubrication involves electrically charged lubricants.
