| Application: |
| 100 % aqueous based, for protective film coating which offers controlled release without being affected by pH |
| Film Coating of tablets, pellets, granules & powders. Colour less and transparent or coloured with pigments can also be used with water. |
| To procure slow release of the active substance independently of pH in the digestive tract. |
| In transdermal systems to regulate release of drugs. |
| To isolate drugs whose tolerability in the upper G.I. tract is poor. |
| In granulation to isolate incompatible active ingredients and optimizing mechanical properties. |
| To improve compressing properties during manufacturing tablet ( hardness, friability & capping) |
| Insulating hygroscopic cores |
| To improve self protection against environmental effects like humidity, light, temperature, .to retain the active drug stable for a longer duration. |
|
| Additives: |
| |
| No Plasticizer required. |
| |
| Glidants like talc, micronized amorphous silica and glycerol monostearate facilitate spray application to the cores. |
| |
| Opaque white or colored coatings can be obtained by adding pigments like titanium dioxide, food colors and iron oxide. |
|
| Storage: |
To be kept well sealed, free from frost, at a temperature not higher than 30o C, preferably at 5oC to 25oC. Once the container is opened the entire content should be processed as soon as possible. |
