Acryl-EZE® Aqueous Acrylic Enteric System
Acryl-EZE®, aqueous enteric systems are a range of fully formulated, high performance coatings that provide pH targeted resistance. The formulations are designed for use on tablets or multiparticulate solid oral dosage products, including proton pump inhibitor (PPI) applications.
Targeted pH Applications
Acryl-EZE is convenient for use, presenting significant time savings in development and production, and protects against acidic conditions and fast release in buffer (small intestinal fluids) conditions.. Available for use with choice of plasticizer for application flexibility and customization.
Acryl-EZE II is an optimized high performance coating that offers enteric protection in the intermediate pH range media, suitable for proton pump inhibitor (PPI) applications and provides enteric protection at lower weight gains compared to Acryl-EZE systems.
