Offering short process times and a superior film finish, the Opadry II product range consists of fully formulated dry blend systems for the aqueous film coating of pharmaceutical and nutritional oral solid dosage forms. Opadry II is a water soluble, pH independent film coating which allows for immediate disintegration for fast, active release.
As a high performance aqueous film coating system, Opadry II offers:
- Reduced coating process time resulting in a savings of 25% or more compared with conventional film coating formulations.
- Superior product appearance as a high adhesion polymer provides excellent logo definition, on difficult to coat cores.
- Environmental moisture protection for sensitive cores, enhancing product stability and improving shelf life.
- Wide processing capability, making Opadry II simple to use on all types of coating equipment and substrates.
Key Benefits of Using Opadry II Products:
- Commercial success is achieved on a wide variety of tablets containing a wide variety of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API).
- Gain an increace in capacity, by reducing the length of process time in the coating operation. Lessen the need for future capital expenditure.
- Pigmented systems capable of 20% solids solution with low viscosity which reduces processing time and is easy to apply.
- Low viscosity results in optimal droplet size for greater uniformity with a smooth tablet finish and improved gloss.
- Reduce inventory, handling and raw material testing costs with a ready-to-use dry mix containing polymer, plasticizer and pigment.
- Mixes easily with water into a solution which is usable within 30-45 minutes.
- An aqueous soluble polymer enables easy clean-up with water for fast turnaround times.
