Coating with Polyvinyl Alcohol: When Coating Runs Smoothly

WEBINAR

Polymeric film coatings are applied for various reasons. In general, they are classified according to their solubility in water.

Among the water soluble polymers polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) takes a unique position. In the application field of immediate release coatings it can provide fast release kinetis combined with an exceptional moisture and oxygen barrier. Due to the low viscosities of PVA solutions high solid contents can be realized leading to a high process efficiacy.

The webinar will cover coating formulation development as well as novel technologies for characterization of coated tablets that can easily be implemented in early formulation development. Optical coherence technology (OCT) and laser scanning microscopy (LSM) can be valuable tools to assess the coating quality.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• How to enhance your formulation development for coatings
• About the functionalities of our new PVA based excipient
• Enhanced analytical tools including optical choherence tomography (OCT) and laser scanning microscopy (LSM)
• The application of enhanced process analytical technology and how to utilize this new technology for successful process development
