Specialty Vegetable Oils

Powdered Lubricants—Finely divided, edible, powdered vegetable fats used extensively as tablet lubricants and binders in pharmaceutical, nutritional and cosmetic preparations.  Also utilized in powder metallurgy as a mold lubricant and are volatilized or burned off during the ensuing operation wherein the metal particles are fused.
