Coating Process Conditions - 85 F Series - Clear FormulaTypical processing conditions - side vented fully perforated and convention pans.
Opadry® II - Preparation and Use Mixing procedure and holding instructions for Opadry II coating formulations.
Opadry® II - Sales BrochureImproved efficiency PVA and HPMC coating formulations reduce coating processing time by 25-30% compared with conventional systems. For use in nutritional and pharmacuetical applications.
Coating Moisture-Sensitive Products Influence of inlet temperature and airflow on moisture uptake by tablet cores using a PVA-based film coating system.
Effect of Coating Process Conditions and Coating Formula Type on the Quantity and Location of Water in Film-Coated TabletsEffects of process conditions and formula type on tablet moisture gain.
Evaluation of a Film Coating that Produces Enhanced Tablet-to-Tablet Film Uniformity In this study, Opadry® II (85 series) Clear was shown to have lower coating weight gain standard deviations than a standard clear hypromellose based film coating. Pigmented Opadry II (85 series) achieved similar or better coating color uniformity with a 1/3 savings in processing time.
Investigation into the Flow Properties of Coated and Uncoated Tablets and its Relevance to Blister Packing Efficiency Reduce contamination and improve packaging line efficiency through the application of a fully formulated film coating. Realize improved yield when packaging pharmaceutical or dietary supplement products.
Protection and Processing of a Highly Hygroscopic Herbal Extract by Drug Layering and Film CoatingStudy of the stablity improvements for Echinacea Purpurea beads layered with a moisture PVA and HPMC based barrier film coating.
Reducing Coated Tablet Defects from Laboratory Through Production Scale: Performance of Hypromellose Based and Polyvinyl Alcohol Based Aqueous Film Coating SystemsZero Defects, Less Time, Less Material as a result of Opadry® II coating innovation from Colorcon®.
