DRCOAT® Ready-to-use systems

“Transforming coating practices in pharma”

The pharmaceutical industry demands solutions that simplify operations, reduce variability, and enhance quality. DRCOAT® delivers exactly that an advanced, ready-to-use, pre-blended formulation that eliminates the complexities of in-house coating preparation. It ensures consistent color, reproducibility, and uniformity across every batch, helping manufacturers meet regulatory standards with confidence.

By reducing preparation time, minimizing solvent handling, and reducing error risks, DRCOAT® streamlines large-scale production. The result is optimized costs, faster turnaround, and superior aesthetic appeal without compromising functional performance of solid oral dosage forms.

Key Advantages of DRCOAT®

• Operational efficiency
• Consistency & quality
• Regulatory compliance
• Time & cost savings
• Improved safety
• Enhanced patient acceptability

DRCOAT® provides reliable performance and compatibility across diverse APIs and excipients, it became a pivotal enabler of modern pharmaceutical manufacturing by bridging the gap between productivity, compliance, and patient trust.

DRCOAT® Enteric coating

Reliable protection, ready-to-use convenience

The DRCOAT® Enteric coating – range combines the proven functionality of DRUGCOAT® with the simplicity of a pre-formulated ready-to-use system.

Specifically designed to protect acid-sensitive APIs and enable targeted intestinal release, DRCOAT® Enteric eliminates the complexity of raw material handling, weighing and dispersion delivering consistent performance in every batch.

DRCOAT® ECA

The sustainable future of enteric coating

Solvent-based enteric coatings have played an important role historically, but today the industry is moving toward more sustainable practices. With greater focus on cleaner manufacturing, reduced VOC exposure, safer operations and lower waste footprints, formulators are increasingly choosing coating systems that support environmental responsibility while maintaining performance. This evolution reflects a shift toward smarter, greener, and more future-ready coating solutions.

DRCOAT® Immediate release coating

Fast, reliable, and ready-to-use

The DRCOAT® Immediate release film coating range is engineered to deliver rapid dissolution, elegant appearance, and robust protection while offering the simplicity of a pre-formulated ready-to-use system. Designed for efficiency, it eliminates the need for in-house weighing, mixing, and dispersion, ensuring consistent coating performance and reducing colour variability.

Coating efficiency

The viscosity factor

Studies of DRCOAT® grades show that coating solution viscosity increases with higher solid content, with significant differences between grades. Viscosity is a critical parameter, directly affecting sprayability atomization, and film uniformity during coating

DRCOAT® Moisture barrier coatings

Protecting stability, enhancing performance

Moisture sensitivity is a common challenge in pharmaceutical formulations. DRCOAT® Moisture barrier coatings -provide robust protection against moisture ingress, ensuring long-term stability of APIs and finished products. Available as convenient ready-to-use systems, they combine excellent film-forming properties with easy processing, suitable for oral solid dosage form.
