There are three types of Aquarius™ Control film coating systems. Aquarius™ Control ENA film coating systems are delayed-release (enteric) coatings based on methacrylic acid copolymer that are designed to protect active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that degrade in gastric fluid or to prevent the release of APIs that may irritate the gastric mucosa. Aquarius™ Control SRX film coating systems are sustained-release coatings for APIs that are most effective when released over time. Aquarius™ Control ECD is an aqueous dispersion of ethylcellulose polymer for achieving controlled release, taste-masking, and moisture protection by forming a water-insoluble film.

features and benefits
Aquarius™ Control ENA film coating systems:
- protection of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that degrade in gastric fluid
- prevention of API release that may irritate the gastric mucosa
- provision of stable dissolution profiles over a wide pH range
- production of stable release profiles over a period of up to 12 months
Aquarius™ Control SRX film coating systems:
- solvent-dispersible ethylcellulose coatings for multiparticulates, potentially modified with hydroxypropylcellulose as a pore former
- variable porosities can be matched to API solubility and/or desired release profile
- produces coatings that do not require curing after application
Aquarius™ Control ECD film coating systems:
- prevention of API release that may irritate the gastric mucosa
- reproducible drug release results
- multifunctional: controlled release, taste masking, and moisture protection
- supports a solvent and ammonia free coating process
- reduces environmental impact and improves product safety by eliminating use of hazardous solvents in film coating processes
- compatible with a broad range of plasticizers
- easy to clean after coating
applications - film coating
- film former
