External lubrication of tooling with magnesium stearate (MgSt) is a common strategy to eliminate punch sticking when compressing powders with a high sticking propensity, such as many pure active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). We found that it actually led to aggravated punch sticking at low compaction pressures. This counterintuitive phenomenon was explained based on interplay of forces among the punch tip, MgSt, and API. The explanation is supported by the observed effects of pressure and mechanical properties of APIs on this phenomenon.
