Surelease® Preparation and Use SheetOutline of the recommended dispersion mixing procedures, coating levels, and cleaning guidelines for the Surelease platform of aqueous ethylcellulose dispersions.
Surelease® Sales BrochureIntroduction to the Surelease platform of aqueous ethylcellulose dispersions.
Application of Ethylcellulose in Preparation of Extended Release Theophylline Inert Matrix Tablets by Wet GranulationThe outcome of this study illustrates that an aqueous ethylcellulose dispersion (Surelease™) was successfully utilized to formulate and manufacture extended release theophyllin inert matrices. The influence of varying polymer concentration, filler choice and compression force on drug release profiles were studied as well.
Comparative Study of Theoretical Versus Actual Weight Gain for a Surelease® Barrier Membrane on Coated PelletsThis poster reprint outlines an analytical method to determine the quantity of ethylcellulose applied during coating, on multiparticulates.
Effect of Hypromellose as a Pore-Former in Aqueous Ethylcellulose Dispersion: Characterization of Dispersion PropertiesThis poster reprint investigates the effect of HPMC as a pore-former on: stability of aqueous EC dispersion (Surelease®); quality of the free films prepared from these mixtures, and interactions between the HPMC and EC dispersion.
Evaluation of Alternative Plasticizers for Surelease®, an Aqueous Ethylcellulose Dispersion for Modified Release Film-CoatingThis poster reprint examines the effects of various plasticizers on the thermal and physical properties of ethylcellulose.
Hypromellose as a Pore Former in Aqueous Ethylcellulose Dispersion: Stability and Film PropertiesThis poster reprint investigates the effect of HPMC as a pore-former on: stability of aqueous EC dispersion (Surelease®); quality of the free films prepared from these mixtures, and interactions between the HPMC and EC dispersion.
Identification and Influence of Critical Coating Process Parameters on Drug Release from a Fully Formulated Aqueous Ethylcellulose DispersionThe objective of this poster reprint was to identify and study the influence of critical film coating process parameters for Surelease® aqueous ethylcellulose dispersion, on drug release behavior and the output or response variables of that process.
Investigation of the Relationship between Formulation Variables and Drug Release in Aqueous Ethylcellulose CoatingThis poster reprint summarizes the effect of pore former on the drug release of various actives from drug layered beads coated with Surelease®, aqueous ethylcellulose dispersion.
Predictability of Drug Release from Multiparticulate Systems Coated with an Aqueous Ethylcellulose DispersionThis poster reprint examines drug release from drug layered beads varying in substrate size, and Surelease® coating level.
Stability of a Sparingly Soluble BCS Class I API Ethylcellulose Coated MultiparticulateThis poster was presented at the 2010 CRS meeting in Portland, OR. This study investigated the release kinetics of a sparingly soluble BCS Class I API coated with an aqueous ethylcellulose dispersion.
The Effect of Hypromellose as a Pore-Former on Drug Release from Aqueous Ethylcellulose Film-Coated Dipyridamole-Loaded Non-Pareil BeadsThis poster reprint investigates the influence of pore-formers on the release of a poorly water-soluble drug, dipyridamole, from non-pareil beads coated with an aqueous ethylcellulose dispersion (Surelease® NG E-7-19050).
The Influence of Hydrophilic Pore Formers on Dipyridamole Release from Aqueous Ethylcellulose Film-Coated PelletsThis poster reprint studies the effect of incorporating water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a pore former into Surelease® films, and how they influence dipryridamole release from the pellets.
The Influence of Hydrophilic Pore-Formers on Metoprolol Succinate Release from Mini-tabs Coated with Aqueous Ethylcellulose DispersionThis poster was presented at the 2010 CRS meeting in Portland, OR. This study investigated the influence of incorporating a water-soluble pore-former based on PVA into Surelease film coating on in vitro release of a model drug metoprolol succinate, from mini-tabs.
The Influence of Plasticizer Type on the Film Properties of a Fully-Formulated Aqueous Ethylcellulose DispersionThis poster reprint examines the impact of choice of plasticizer on the dispersion behavior and film properties of a fully formulated aqueous ethylcellulose dispersion.
The Influence of Post Coating Thermal Treatment on Film Properties and Drug Release from Ethylcellulose Barrier Membrane Coating SystemsThe results of this study demonstrate that post coating treatment can affect both physico-mechanical properties of EC films and drug release from EC-coated multi-particulates.
