Presentation Transcript

  1. Tablet Coating • Why coat tablets? • Types of coatings • sugar coating • film coating • press coating (compression coating)

  2. Sugar Coating • stages involved • sealing of tablet core • subcoating • smoothing • colouring • polishing • printing

  3. Film Coating • involves spraying a solution of polymer + pigments + plasticizers onto a rotated, mixed tablet bed • forms a thin, uniform film on tablet surface • materials • polymers • solvents • plasticizers • colorants

  4. Film Formation latex particles dispersed in aqueous phase formation of thin film with water evaporation through film continuous film

  5. Coating Process • coating pans

  6. Coating Process • fluid beds

  7. Important Processing Parameters • inlet and bed temperatures • relative humidity • atomization air pressure • liquid spray rate • droplet size • drying time

  8. Coating Problems • picking/chipping • roughness • sticking • film cracking/peeling

  9. Normal Coating

  10. Enteric-coated • coating resists dissolution or disruption in stomach but not in intestines • used for drugs that are unstable, irritating to stomach

  11. Enteric Coating

  12. Press Coating • use of compression to form coat around a pre-formed core • used mainly to separate chemically incompatible materials • also dual release patterns possible
