ReadyBlend® / Product FIG. 01 ReadyBlend all-in-one tableting powder
Why This Model

Built for
its job.

01

Solves the Three Failure Points

Formulated to address the issues that stall most first tablet runs: soft or crumbly tablets, powder that won't flow through the hopper, and capping where the tablet splits after ejection.

02

Works Across Most Actives

Compatible with the large majority of active ingredients at a 20–60% mix ratio, without the trial-and-error of building a custom excipient system from scratch.

03

Nine Color Options

Available in white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, baby blue, pink, and purple — all food-grade colorants — so a product can carry its own visual identity straight off the press.

Questions

Frequently
asked.

Is ReadyBlend an alternative to Firmapress?

Yes — it's made with the same four ingredients listed for Firmapress (microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide) and is used the same way. See the comparison table above.

What's in ReadyBlend?

A combination of a bulking/binding agent, a flow agent, and a dry lubricant, pre-balanced so you don't have to weigh out and mix separate excipients.

How much do I add to my formulation?

Most formulations sit between 30–60% ReadyBlend by weight, with 20% as a practical floor. Very sticky or clumpy actives may need a touch more.

Will it work with my active ingredient?

It's built to work with the large majority of active ingredients. Fine, fluffy, low-density powders can be the exception — a granulated version of the same active usually presses better.

Is it food-safe and vegan?

Yes — the formulation and its colorants are food-grade, and it contains no animal-derived ingredients.

Can I get a custom color?

Custom color runs are possible at bulk-batch minimums with a lead time — get in touch with your target color and expected volume.

Reviews

What buyers
say.

4.7 out of 5, based on 3 reviews.

★★★★★
Lauren P. March 2026

Cut our formulation time in half. No more juggling four separate excipients and guessing ratios.

★★★★☆
Carlos M. January 2026

Works well across the actives we've tried. Color options make private-label branding easy.

★★★★★
Nina T. December 2025

Consistent flow batch to batch, which is the main thing I need from a directly-compressible powder.
