Next-Gen Coatings: Merging Sustainability with Superior Performance
10 April 2025
About the webinar:
The pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries have traditionally relied on hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the standard polymers for immediate release coatings for solid oral dosage forms.
These polymers are commonplace due to their robustness and well understood film-forming properties.
However, the increasing global emphasis on sustainability, efficiency, and consumer-friendly solutions necessitates the exploration of innovative alternatives.
This webinar will describe a solution that originates from pea-starch and provides formulators with a solution which allows more sustainability, process efficiency, patient adherence and consumer experience for their pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations.
In this webinar we will present:
- Why coatings are important and the considerations when choosing a coating technology.
- Qualitative formulation and compendial status
- A comparative study of starch-based vs. HPMC and PVA coatings
- Comparison of safety, sustainability, and efficiency factors
