Uncover the benefits of our Parteck® COAT excipient

Increase flexibility and process efficiency with coating

Parteck^® COAT is a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with a unique structure specifically designed for immediate-release film coating applications. Due to its optimized particle size, it helps to reduce dissolving times when preparing the coating solution, thus increasing process efficiency. Its low viscosity and high stability against moisture and oxidation makes it very well-suited for use as a film-forming polymer in coatings. Parteck^® COAT excipient can be combined with a variety of supporting excipients such as plasticizers, anti-tacking agents and pigments – all available in our portfolio – to give you full flexibility in designing just the right coating for your need, and in the right timeframe.
