Phamaceutical's Coating

The reference book projects Fundamentals and Practices on Pharmaceutical Coating, a unit operation conducted in a series of mechanically operated equipments used for applying an outer layer of non-functional or functional coats and or depositing drug onto nonpareils. Technological breakthrough and regulatory constrains pushing up for gradual improvements, with time and space, is from traditional sugarcoating to film coating, conventional coating pan to modified coating pan and fluid-bed process, and aqueous-organic-aqueous-solventless coating formulations and process. The book will familiarize adjoined processes and technologies, materials, and analytical tools. It assembles cellulose and cellulosics, acrylates and Eudragit®, plasticizers, colorants and opacifiers, flavors, synthetic and natural sweeteners, sugar and film coating, conventional and perforated coating pans, fluid-bed process, and solventless process. Hydraulic and pneumatic spray nozzles assembled in addition to online and offline analytical tools for assessing/reproducing performance of coating and coating process. It will serve reference for professionals of academic and industrial field, adjoined with coating.
