Formulation of Coating Composition

  • Formulation of Coating Composition starts with selecting polymers like HPMC or EC that form a stable, protective film.
  • Formulation of Coating Composition uses water or organic solvents to dissolve coating materials.
  •  It includes plasticizers, opacifiers, and colorants to enhance flexibility, appearance, and functionality.

The coating formulation includes:

  • Polymer: Provides the structural matrix.
  • Plasticizer: Adds flexibility to the coating.
  • Solvent: Usually water (aqueous coatings) or organic solvents (non-aqueous coatings).
  • Colorants: For aesthetic purposes.
  • Additives: Such as preservatives or stabilizers.

Example of a Film Coating Formulation:

  • Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC): 10-20
  • Triethyl Citrate (Plasticizer): 5-10
  • Titanium Dioxide (Colorant): 2-5
  • Distilled Water (Solvent): Balance to 100
