Film Coating Polymer

• For film coating of tablets, pellets, granules, powders.
• For granulation process and pelletization.
• For controlled released tablets and pellets.
• For transdermal applications.

Clear colourless transparent lacquer films are formed. Colours can be given with pigment or food colours. Films permeable in gastric juices.

The aqueous dispersion is miscible with water in any proportion. A clear or slightly opalescent viscous can be obtained by mixing one part of Film Coat E30D with five parts of acetone or isopropanol.

• Coating of tablets, pills for protecting the drug from surrounding environment, particularly air, moisture, light, thus retaining required stability.
• Masking unpleasant taste and odour, thus overcoming resistance to drug ingestion. Providing product ‘identity’ for differentiation of products from manufacturing, storage to patient.
• Imparting cosmetic elegance to product appearance, masking, any noticeable visible differences in tablet core from batch to batch.
• Reducing risk of interactions between incompatible ingredients
• Improves mechanical integrity, eliminating possibility of abrasions chipping etc…
• Isolating porous cores
• Extending and improving keeping properties
• To improve compression characteristic (hardness during tableting).

As a binder of film former in the manufacture of porous matrix tablets (wet granulation) with delayed release of the active substance. As a film former, mixed with other dispersions to control permeability.

To regulate release of drug from transdermal systems on the membrane principle. Odour - Weakly aromatic. ¤ To improve the skin tolerability of trnasdermal therapeutic systems with occlusive properties.

• Less proportion of polymer is required.
• Low temperature for film formation.
• Neutral (pH independent) film formation.
• Stability over a broad temperature range.
• Exhibits excellent colour value and self shine shade.
• Marginal weight gain in tablets.
• Hydrophobic.

• Appearance - White, milky liquid.
• Odour - Aromatic.
• Content - 28.5 to 31.5% w/w dry polymer.
• Acid Value - Nil.
• Solubility - Water or organic solvent - alcohols, acetone.

Film Coat E30D is a high molecular weight polymer. It is not absorbed by the body tissues and is totally safe for human oral consumption. Test for toxicological tolerance show that it does not have any pronounced physiological action and is non-toxic.

Plasticizer are not necessary but permeabilities of polymer can be regulated by addition of polyethylene glycois, vinyl alcohol or pyrolidone as water soluble additives.

8.5 gms. Film Coat E30D per 1 kg. tablets for film coating.

Coagulation may occur due to electrolytic effect, pH changes, foam formation, frost, and by high speed stirring.

At low temperature not exceeding 350c. Keep away from frost.

Two years from the date of manufacturing.

5 kg., 20 kg., net in H.D.P.E. drum.
