COTAB RFC AQUA
Description
Transparent Coating Manufacturer in Ahmedabad.
We offer Cotab RFC Aqua Film Coating Powder, a high-quality pharmaceutical coating system developed for efficient film coating applications in tablets and nutraceutical products. Cotab RFC Aqua is formulated using Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), a widely accepted pharmaceutical polymer known for its excellent film-forming properties, coating uniformity, and product stability.
The coating system provides a smooth and protective film layer over tablets, improving appearance, reducing friability, minimizing dust generation, and enhancing product identification. Cotab RFC Aqua is designed to deliver consistent coating performance while maintaining the integrity of the active pharmaceutical ingredients.
The formulation can be reconstituted at 8.0% to 10.0% concentration using a solvent system of IPA 60% + Water 40%. With a recommended coating weight gain of 1.8% to 2.5%, Cotab RFC Aqua ensures excellent film coverage, superior adhesion, and an attractive tablet finish.
