Parteck® Coat: When coating runs smoothly – Reduce coating time with optimized particle properties
![]()
Parteck® COAT Excipient – Start rapidly, coat flexibly.
It can be a challenge to find the right coating for your formulation, and it can be even more frustrating when your workflow is restrained due to slow processing times. With Parteck® COAT, you get the right coating adapted to your needs and the ability to prepare coating liquids more rapidly.
Parteck® COAT is a particle engineered polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with a unique structure specifically designed for immediate release film coating applications. Due to the optimized particle size, it helps to reduce dissolving times in coating solution preparation, thus increasing process efficiency. It 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 the right coating at the right time.
PVA has a long safety record related to its usage in pharmaceutical applications and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Parteck® COAT is part of our Parteck® particle engineered excipients range. Our comprehensive excipients portfolio provides standard and customized material solutions tailored to meet your unique needs. Call on our global network of scientists, engineers, regulatory experts and state-of-the-art manufacturing and customer collaboration centers for support.
Rapid preparation time.
The optimized particle properties of Parteck® COAT have a dual advantage: they support reduced dissolution times in the relevant media as well as lower temperatures required for dissolving the polymer. This is in contrast to the material in flake form would not dissolve below 60 °C, particleengineered Parteck® COAT already dissolves at room temperature.
Flexibility in coatings.
Parteck® COAT can be combined with a variety of supporting excipients to optimize the appearance of the final formulation. An excellent surface finishing can be achieved using Parteck® COAT in combination with different plasticizers (see PDF). More about Merck – Millipore Sigma!
