AN EASY PILL TO SWALLOW
Coatings with METHOCEL™ Premium or ETHOCEL™ Premium products increase a tablet’s compressive strength, reduce its friability (potential to crumble) and can be useful for heat and moisture sensitive active pharmaceutical ingredients.
On top of all this, our excipients are packed with features that make light work of any tablet or coating challenge:
- Strong films with good adhesion
- Clear coatings
- Non-ionic and compatible with FD&C dyes, lakes and pigments
- Excellent surfaces for printing and displaying scoring, logos and other features
- Hydration and slickness - easier to swallow
From a manufacturing perspective they:
- Enable coatings to be applied in one pan
- Shorten coating time
- Permit the use of automated coating systems
