LYCOAT^®

Aqueous Film Coating System

LYCOAT® is a major breakthrough in aqueous film coating for immediate release, solid oral dosage forms. It is modified peas starch presented as a stable, patent protected powder, instantly dispersible in cold water at room temperature using traditional mixing equipment with no foam / lump formation. LYCOAT suspensions are absolutely neutral and it’s coating does not impair either the flavor or colour of the tablets. Coating time with LYCOAT is dramatically faster with no production stops fro gun cleaning and even at high solids content, spraying is uniform. Tablets coated with LYCOAT has a very attractive, glossy finish, smooth surface and uniform colour tone. LYCOAT is available in two viscosities as well as in different colours to suit customer needs.

Another interesting application where LYCOAT is used, is for the production of oro-dispersible films.
