The Brillouin function is odd, increases monotonically through zero, and approaches $\pm 1$ for $x\to \pm \infty$. Its small-$x$ slope is $(J+1)/(3J)$. For $x\gg 1$, the magnetic ions overwhelmingly occupy the largest field-aligned moment projection, so the magnetization reaches magnetic saturation:The sketch shows several $J$ values; all have the same limiting values, while their slopes differ.
