AquaPolish® TC is a combination of HPMC, HPC and other cellulose ethers with taste masking additives. Due to the further additives, which form a hardly soluble film, a tastemasking is achieved.

BIOGRUND’s one-step film coating system AquaPolish® OM perfectly masks bad and strong smelling actives (e. g. herbal extracts). Sealing these characteristics by using AquaPolish® OM enables a pleasant application for the consumer and increases patient compliance. It provides a protective and economical coating on tablets, pellets, granules and capsules without influencing the disintegration time.

BIOGRUND provides a wide range of ready-to-use film coating products which includes AquaPolish® MS. It's a moisture sealing product. It provides a protective and fast soluble film on tablets, pellets, granules and capsules. It is a combination of selected film-forming cellulose ethers with plasticizing and coloring additives. The use of hydrophobic excipients gives excellent protection against moisture. The product is designed to improve the coating process and can be applied using conventional or modern coating equipment. It is a homogeneous, dry-milled, powdered compound, developed for the coating of all kinds of solid dosage forms. It is easily soluble and a reproducible high-quality film coating can be achieved.
