Protective Formulations

Many APIs are moisture-sensitive and thus need protection against ambient moisture. DHARACOAT E series polymers provide efficient moisture protection and demonstrate to active. Hence ideal choice to protect hygroscopic ingredients, used in tablets, pellets & powders. In brief DHARACOAT E series offers reverse enteric property i.e. immediate release at stomach but permeable & swellable in intestine. E series functions as taste-masking also in oral solid dosage forms.

  • Plasticizer
    It is recommended to add 10-20% plasticizer on dry polymer substance into the COLONCOAT E Series Solution or Dispersion to obtain films adequate flexibility.
  • Glidant
    Glidants like Talc, Micronized amorphous silica and Glycerol Monostearate facilitates spray application to the cores.
  • Pigments
    Opaque white or colored coating can be obtained by adding pigments like Iron Oxide and Lakes.
  • Solvents For Non Aqueous Base
    Isopropyl alcohol and acetone, also mixture of these
