Description

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Type IA, NF (ATPN R) is a specific grade of Magnesium Aluminum Silicate that adheres to the standards outlined in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) National Formulary (NF) monograph. It is a naturally occurring mineral compound composed of magnesium, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen.

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Type IA, NF is commonly used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries as an ingredient in various formulations. It serves multiple functions, such as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and viscosity modifier. This grade of Magnesium Aluminum Silicate is carefully evaluated and meets the specific quality standards set forth by the NF monograph, ensuring its safety and suitability for use in these applications.

As a thickening agent, it helps to improve the texture and consistency of formulations, providing a smooth and luxurious feel. It also acts as a stabilizer, helping to prevent separation or settling of ingredients in emulsions. Additionally, it can contribute to the desired viscosity of a product, ensuring proper spreadability and application.

The use of Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Type IA, NF in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations is supported by its compliance with the rigorous standards outlined in the NF monograph. These standards ensure the quality, purity, and effectiveness of the ingredient in the intended applications, providing assurance to manufacturers and consumers alike.

ATPN R is an alternative product to Veegum R.
