BASF partners Colorcon to develop film coating systems

Kollicoat Smartseal 30 D is a water-based reverse enteric polymer having both taste masking and moisture barrier properties.

The pre-formulated additive system prepares and applies the polymer in taste masking applications.

Colorcon Film Coating GM Kamlesh Ozac said Kollicoat Smartseal was developed to simplify and accelerate aqueous film coating operations, and for formulating tablet, pellet, and particle coatings.

"Our collaboration to develop the additive will bring batch-to-batch color consistency, performance, speed and simplicity enabling easy reconstituting of the film former in pharmaceutical coating operations while maintaining functionality," Ozac said.
