What is Veegum?

Veegum(Magnesium Aluminium Silicate) is one of the most versatile ingredient being used in Pharmaceutical Formulations.
Veegum has it's own properties to stabilise suspensions, emulsions, creams, lotions mainly for topical & liquid orals. Veegum has unique properties as non-migratory binder, co-disintegrating agent, taste modifying agent and moisture absorbing nature. It is widely used in dry suspensions, tablets in pharmaceutical & nutraceutical formulations.
It is very important to properly hydrate the powder, mix it in water before adding other ingredients (different grades of Veegum hydrate at different rates). Do not underestimate the time needed, in 25C water it could take 120 minutes using a propeller mixer! Using hot water or a higher energy mixer can drastically cut the time needed. It is also important to use the same water temperature, mixing time and energy and viscosity each time it is used to get consistent behavior in the slurry.
Veegum is used as an in-mix suspending agent and surface hardener for glazes. It is also suitable for use as a spray-on surface hardener before decorating (mix it with water and put a light layer on dried ware).
