Shin-Etsu Chemical's PHARMACOAT® was developed from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in 1963, during the early days of film coating, and has been the subject of a continuous program of development and quality improvement since then. Film coatings of this type are now in widespread use throughout the world. Although drug properties are the key factor in medicinal formulations, the physical form or the finish of a preparation is also important. PHARMACOAT® is easy to use as a film coating material and gives an excellent finish. It is very versatile, and is suitable for many applications in the design of film-coated tablet formulations. In addition, PHARMACOAT® is effective as a binder, since it does not interact with drugs, and has superior stability, nonionic character, etc. PHARMACOAT® is widely used as a
binder for granulation, and is available in various viscosity grades for granulation purposes. Shin-Etsu Chemical's PHARMACOAT® can make a valuable contribution in various areas of pharmaceutical technology.
