Triaxial compression of "cappable" formulations.
According to theory, "capping" (visible lamination) occurs at the uniaxial relaxation stage at the point at which the upper punch pressure is released. A method is described whereby the stress in a tablet prone to a "capping" problem can be released in a triaxial manner.
