Price and minimum order

We do not publish a rate for SFC101 because it moves with the shade, the pack size and the annual volume, and a number that ignores those three is a number you would have to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.

Product description

Non-aqueous sugar film coat that covers the tablet with a sucrose based solution and provides protection from light and moisture. It is fully formulated on HPMC, so a conventional or auto coater delivers the sugar coated appearance without the traditional multi stage sugar coating process.

It is applied like a non-aqueous film coat rather than through the traditional sugar process, so a single pan and a single dispersion replace the syrup, dusting and polishing stages. That shortens the sugar coated finish from days to a single shift.

Polymers in this film

HypromelloseHPMC forms a clear, tough, water soluble film at low build-up. It does not delay release, so whatever the core does uncoated it does coated. It also takes pigment well, which is why colour and opacity work is done on an HPMC base.

FAQs about SFC101

No. It is applied like a non-aqueous film coat, so a single pan and a single dispersion replace the syrup, dusting and polishing stages. A conventional or auto coater is all that is required.

A single shift rather than the several days a traditional sugar process runs to, because the multi stage build-up is replaced by one film coating stage.
