Film coating agents

    Tablets are among the most commonly used forms for oral administration. Film coating is the final step in tablet manufacturing. It is used to:

    • Protect cores from external aggression with a physical barrier
    • Protect hygroscopic cores from humidity
    • Modulate the release of the active ingredient
    • Color tablets to facilitate identification
    • Improve therapeutic adherence by facilitating drug intake (swallowing) and by masking the intrinsic active ingredient characteristics (taste, color, odor...)

    We offer multiple ranges of ready-to-use, immediate release, and functional film coating agents. Read on to find out more about the characteristics of our film-coating agents!
