Tablet coating agents

In tableting, polydextrose solutions are used as binders in wet-granulation processes. Polydextrose is also used in the manufacture of directly compressible tableting excipients. Polydextrose solutions may also be used, in conjunction with other materials, as a film and tablet coating agent. [Pg.542]

Sucrose syrups are used as tablet-coating agents at concentrations between 50% and 67% w/w. With higher concentrations, partial inversion of sucrose occurs, which makes sugar coating difficult. [Pg.744]

Zein is used as a tablet binder in wet-granulation processes or as a tablet-coating agent mainly as a replacement for shellac. It is used primarily as an enteric-coating agent or in extended-release oral tablet formulations. Zein is also used in food applications as a coating agent. See Table I. [Pg.828]

The main use of ethylcellulose in oral formulations is as a hydrophobic coating agent for tablets and granules. Ethylcellulose coatings are used to modify the release of a drug, to mask an unpleasant taste, or to improve the stability of a formulation for example, where granules are coated with ethylcellulose to inhibit oxidation. Modified-release tablet formulations mav also be produced using ethylcellulose as a matrix former. " ... [Pg.278]
