Maltodextrins + corn syrup solids
MALTRIN^® maltodextrins are excellent film formers used to increase the solids in aqueous film coating solutions. Increasing solids concentration of the solutions allows the desired weight gain to be delivered to the tablet, granule or capsule in less time. They also enhance the gloss and color of the finished coating. The low viscosity, cold water-solubility and inert properties of MALTRIN^® maltodextrins make them ideal polymers to work with in production.

Starches
INSTANT PURE-COTE^® Pregelatinized Modified Starch NF is an excellent film former and produces clear, glossy aqueous film coatings on tablets, capsules and particles. It increases solids concentration of the coating solutions allowing the desired weight gain to be delivered in less time. Being readily soluble in cold, warm or hot water, it is extremely friendly to production processes. PURE-COTE^® Modified Starch NF is also an excellent polymer for aqueous film coatings. This starch requires heat in order to hydrate the granules and is perfect for high concentration coatings that can be heated. PURE-DENT^® fine particle starches can be used as dusting agents in aqueous film coatings.
