When tablet formulations are designed, it is necessary to understand “Tableting properties” and to determine the optimum type, grade, and amount of ingredients. “Tableting properties” consist of “Compressibility”, “Compactability”, and “Manufacturability”.
We previously determined “Tableting properties” by using a multi-functional single-punch tablet press (GTP-1). We proposed plotting “Compactability” on the x-axis against “Manufacturability” on the y-axis to allow visual evaluation of “Tableting properties”.
