Price and minimum order
We do not publish a rate for MB 31RP because it moves with the shade, the pack size and the annual volume, and a number that ignores those three is a number you would have to renegotiate. Send the tablet, the target and the quantity and you get a firm quote the same working day.
A trial quantity goes out before any commercial order, with the process parameters this grade was developed on, so you can run it on your own pan before anyone commits to anything.
What to send us
- The active and the strength
- A retained tablet, if you are matching a shade
- Coater size and batch charge
- Target release profile or stability zone
- Approximate annual quantity
Product description
Solvent base moisture barrier film coat for Multivitamin and Ferrous group tablets. It protects the core from moisture pick-up and from the colour change that follows it on shelf.
Multivitamin and ferrous cores are hygroscopic before they reach the coater, so the barrier film is carrying part of the shelf life. Watch colour on coated tablets through the first stability pulls, since colour drift is usually the first sign that the barrier is too thin.

- Moisture Barrier CoatingHPMC and PVA based immediate release systems that protect against light, moisture and environmental gases.
- Polyvinyl alcoholPVA films are less permeable to water vapour than HPMC at the same thickness. That single property is what turns a cosmetic coat into a barrier, and it is why a moisture barrier grade is judged on stability data rather than on gloss.
