tablet film coating

for nutraceutical applications

Achieving the desired appearance and performance of film coatings, while minimizing the potential for processing problems, requires balancing and optimizing ingredients and use levels. This balance is particularly difficult to achieve with many dietary supplements, or nutraceuticals. Ashland offers several products for more health-conscious coating choices or to protect sensitive nutraceutical tablet cores.
