Physical aspects of wet granulations I: distribution kinetics of water.
The kinetics of wetting during the process of making tablet granulations were studied; the process progresses through an intermediate (overwetted) nonequilibrium granule to a final, equilibrated granule. In systematic formulation changes, there is an optimum composition from the point of view of hardness and content of equilibrium granules.
