A wide variety of pharmaceutical products, including pellets, granules, capsules, powders, and crystals are often coated. The procedure of coating tablets is a complex process that results in the forming of a thin layer around the tablet. This layer is in the range of 20 to 200 μm in thickness, or around 1 to 9% of the initial weight of the tablet.

Impact of dry coating lactose as a brittle excipient on multi-component blend processability
Abstract
Previous work demonstrated the benefits of dry coating fine-grade microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) for enabling direct compression (DC), a favored tablet manufacturing method, due to enhanced flowability while retaining good compactability of placebo and binary blends of cohesive APIs.…
