Abstract:

Some of the solid ingredients handled in pharmaceutical industries manufacturing oral solid dosage are combustible and have inherent explosion hazard. This article presents experimental results on explosion parameters- minimum  of some products and excipients- acetyl salicyclic acid, aminophenazone, ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, carboxy methyl cellulose, cellulose, citrus pellets, dextrin, dimethylaminophenazone, 2-Ethoxy-benzamide, glucose, isosorbide dinitrate/lactose(50:50),  L-cystine, lactose, methyl cellulose, paracetamol, polyethylene LDPE, sorbitol, starch-maize and sugar- processed in these facilities measured with CSIR-CBRI 20-L sphere, Hartmann apparatus and Godbert-Greenwald furnace. The data may be used for designing explosion safety measures for explosion-prone units and areas.
