Instacoat EN Super IV

Description

INSTACOAT^TM EN SUPER-IV is a fully formulated enteric coating system based on Methacrylic Acid and Ethyl Acrylate Co-polymer. It is recommended in the cases where phthalate esters such as CAP or HPMCP are not compatible or pose other problems. Typically, a weight gain of around 8% provides reproducible delayed release profiles.

Three separate formulations are available which are suitable for either fully aqueous, hydro-alcoholic, or fully organic solvent seems. With respect to solvent systems, the formulations are not interchangeable
