Applications of Methyl Methacrylate Copolymer Dispersion:
- 100 % aqueous based, for protective film coating which offers controlled release without being affected by pH.
- Film Coating of tablets, pellets, granules & powders. Colour less and transparent or coloured with pigments can also be used with water.
- To procure slow release of the active substance independently of pH in the digestive tract.
- In transdermal systems to regulate release of drugs.
- To isolate drugs whose tolerability in the upper G.I. Tract is poor.
- In granulation to isolate incompatible active ingredients and optimizing mechanical properties.
- To improve compressing properties during manufacturing tablet [hardness, friability & capping].
- Insulating hygroscopic cores.
- To improve self protection against environmental effects like humidity, light, temperature, .To retain the active drug stable for a longer duration.
