Description
VIVACOAT® protect E is a white Ready-to-Use enteric coating system based on the globally accepted Metha-crylic Acid-Ethyl Acrylate copolymer (1:1). VIVACOAT® protect E dissolves at pH values exceeding 5.5. It was developed to protect acid-sensitive APIs against gastric fluids. Likewise, it protects the stomach against irritating actives by delaying drug delivery until the dosage form reaches the small intestine. The VIVACOAT® protect E system requires no neutralization. This enables an easy one-step reconstitution in water. Due to the high polymer content of the coating suspension, VIVACOAT® protect E provides short process times. VIVACOAT® protect E is the ideal solution for delayed release oral dosage forms. Time savings in developement and production are achieved by a simple, fast and robust coating process. Also beneficial are reduced raw material inventory and QC requirements.
