Application of Ethylcellulose in Preparation of Extended Release Theophylline Inert Matrix Tablets by Wet GranulationThe outcome of this study illustrates that an aqueous ethylcellulose dispersion (Surelease™) was successfully utilized to formulate and manufacture extended release theophyllin inert matrices. The influence of varying polymer concentration, filler choice and compression force on drug release profiles were studied as well.
Acryl-EZE® 93A Product InformationFeatures and benefits of the Acryl-EZE 93A series of aqueous, acrylic enteric delayed release coating systems.
Acryl-EZE® MP Product InformationFeatures and benefits of the Acryl-EZE MP series of aqueous, acrylic enteric delayed release coating systems.
Evaluation of the Enteric Performance of Lansoprazole Mini-Tabs Coated in a Perforated PanThe focus of this study was to investigate the potential of successful manufacture and enteric coating of lansoprazole mini-tabs using methacrylic acid co-polymers in a perforated pan. Along with other findings, this study will show that the mechanical strength of the mini-tabs significantly improved upon application of a seal-coat.
Formulation and Process Considerations for Delayed Release Multi-Particulates of Esomeprazole Magnesium The objective of this study was to investigate and establish an application process for an enteric coating system, Acryl-EZE™, aqueous acrylic enteric system, on an esomeprazole magnesium trihydrate (40 mg) multi-particulate system.
Modern Tablet Film Coatings and Influence on Ease of SwallowingStudy that investigates esophageal transit times and incidence of transit delays in film-coated tablets versus uncoated tablets and gelatin capsules.
New Enteric Coating System (Nutrateric®) for Nutritional SupplementsThis poster reprint summarizes the performance of Nutrateric when applied to tablets or soft gelatin capsules.
The Influence of Pore Former Concentration and Coating Weight Gain on Drug Release from Multi-Particulates Coated with Nutrateric®The outcome of this study successfully illustrates the combination of a pH dependent pore former and an aqueous ethylcellulose dispersion resulted in the desired delayed drug release profiles from multi-particulate systems. Coating level and port former concentrations were tailored to alter the duration of the delay in drug release followed by rapid release in higher pH media.

ETHOCEL™ Sales BrochureIntroduction to the ETHOCEL line of premium ethylcellulose polymers.
Investigation of Ethylcellulose in the Preparation of Theophylline Extended Release Inert Matrix TabletsThis research illustrates the influence of EC particle size and molecular weight on drug release from inert matrices containing a sparingly water soluble drug. The influence of varying the polymer concentration, filler choice and compression force on drug release was also evaluated.
An Introduction to METHOCEL™ Cellulose EthersA description of the METHOCEL line of premium cellulose ethers.
The Influence of Hydrodynamic Conditions on Verapamil Hydrochloride Release from Hydrophilic Matrices Using Ionic and Non-Ionic PolyersThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of hydrodynamic conditions on drug release rates from a matrix tablet with a soluble active ingredient, using different combinations of HPMC. The study will show that the combination of HPMC with ionic polymers in ER matrices provides robust formulations which are insensitive to hydrodynamic conditions.
POLYOX™ Sell SheetIntroduction to the POLYOX line of water soluble resins.
The Influence of In-vitro Dissolution Method on the Release of a Highly Water Soluble Drug from Polyethylene Oxide and Hypromellose Hydrophilic Extended Release MatricesThe objective of this study was to investigate the influence of different dissolution methods on the release of a high solubility drug from an ER matrix formulation containing either HPMC or PEO as the rate-controlling polymer.
