In streptocide production for topical antibacterial formulations, a colloid mill finely disperses the active compound throughout ointment or solution bases, eliminating undissolved particles that could cause grittiness or uneven antibacterial coverage on the application site. The controlled shear also speeds up processing compared to prolonged manual mixing, giving a smoother, more consistent finished preparation.
