Product type
Opadry film coating is a type of polymer-based coating used in the pharmaceutical industry to enhance the appearance and performance of tablets and capsules. It is typically composed of a blend of polymers, plasticizers, and colorants, which create a smooth, uniform film over the dosage form. This coating not only improves the aesthetic appeal but also provides protection against moisture, light, and oxygen, thereby enhancing the stability of the active ingredients within the formulation.
| Composition | Polymer-based with plasticizers and colorants |
| Film thickness | Typically ranges from 20 to 100 microns |
| Solubility | Water-soluble or enteric-soluble options available |
| Color options | Wide range of colors available for customization |
| Application method | Spray coating or fluidized bed coating |
When selecting Opadry film coating, buyers should consider the specific formulation requirements, such as the desired color, solubility characteristics, and film thickness. It is also important to specify any regulatory compliance needs, such as FDA approval or other certifications relevant to the intended market. Quantities should align with production needs, and it may be beneficial to request samples for testing prior to large-scale orders.
