Aqueous Enteric Coating Polymer

Aqueous Enteric Coat L30D is an aqueous dispersion of a neutral co-polymer which confirms to USP/NF specifications of “Methacrylic Acid Co-Polymer”, Type C.

Aqueous Enteric Coat L100D is spray dried powder of Aqueous Enteric Coat L30D dispersion. It is an anionic polymer which confirms to USP/NF specification of “Methacrylic Acid Co-Polymer”, Type C.
Use
Enteric coating of tablets, pills, pellets, granules, and powders.
Features
Appearance : Aqueous Enteric Coat L30D forms colourless and transparent film in presence of plasticizers, colour can be given with pigments.
Solubility : The Aqueous Enteric Coat L30D films formed are insoluble in pure water, in buffer solutions below pH 5.5 and natural gastric juices. Aqueous Enteric Coat L30D films are soluble in neutral to weakly alkaline region of the digestive tract, in intestinal fluids and buffer solutions above pH 5.5

Toxicity
Aqueous Enteric Coat L30D is a high molecular weight polymer. It is not absorbed by body tissues and is totally safe for human oral consumption. Test for toxicological tolerance show that it does not have pronounced physiological action and is non-toxic.
Alternatives
Solvent Enteric L100 solvent system can be adopted.
Plasticizer
Aqueous Enteric Coat L30D film is brittle in nature. To improve film elasticity use of plasticizer is strongly recommended. The recommended plasticizers are polyethylene glycol, triacetin, triethyl citrate etc… usually 10% of plasticizer is sufficient, but if necessary, can be increased to 25%
