Moisture Barrier
In moisture barrier coating, traditional way of preventing diffusion of water vapor across the film coating is through water-insoluble materials. Stearic Acid, Ethyl Cellulose and Methacrylic Acid Copolymers are commonly used materials which has the property of diffusing moisture vapor transmission but due to water insoluble nature it takes more time to disintegrate. TabSafe MB is a perfect combination of plasticizers, pigments, pacifiers and other excipients which is compatible with organic or hydro-alcoholic systems to protect against atmospheric moisture. In addition, disintegration or dissolution time is not impacted by our moisture barrier coating.
Enteric Coating
JES PHARMACIA manufactures and represents extended release coating systems derived from one of the most popular and regulatory accepted polymers in the pharmaceutical industry, ethyl cellulose. Application of an ethyl cellulose film from aqueous dispersion or organic solution provides the formulator the means to control the release of drug from a tablet or multi particulate via diffusion of the drug through the ethyl cellulose film. Novel means of controlled release can also be achieved using a combination of JES PHARMACIA’s modified release coating systems.
