• Rational for tablet coating • Equipment set-up and optimization
• Review of coating methods • Features and advantages for pre-mixed
  coating systems
• Advantages of aqueous processing • Common coating problems and their  
  resolution
• Film coating formulation principles • Functional coatings - enteric and
  extended release
• Review of film coating equipment • Excipients and table core optimization
•The film coating process  

Demonstrations followed by opportunities for "hands-on" experience is provided in the following areas:

  • Coating suspension preparation
  • Aqueous film coating - colored and functional
  • Use of conventional coating pans
  • Use of fluid bed coaters
  • Use of conventional coating pans
