Pharmaceutical film
coating materials have significant role in improving organoleptic attributes of
tablets and capsules and in achieving specific therapeutic goals. Coating
materials are also effective in maintaining chemical and physical stability of pharmaceutical
formulations like tablets and capsules. Powder based aqueous film coating
materials protect medicinal substances of tablets and capsules against
temperature, light and moisture. Besides covering undesirable flavor of
medicines, these coating materials promote ease of swallowing of medications. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose based version
of pharmaceutical coating materials are devoid of any taste and smell. Strong
thickening property, high adhesion rate and excellent emulsifying feature are
some of the key aspects of this range of medicinal coating materials.
