What is Tablet Film Coating

Coating Agents for pharmaceutical applications are typically composed of polymers, which possess desirable properties like film-forming ability, adhesion, and compatibility with different drug formulations.

Among the multiple steps in pharmaceutical manufacturing of tablets, tablet film coating is a common but critical process providing various functionalities to tablets, tablet film coating is a thin, uniform layer applied to tablets to improve their performance, stability, and appearance. Coating protects active ingredients from moisture, light, and oxidation while reducing unpleasant taste or odor, ease of swallowing. It also enhances mechanical strength, prevents dusting, and allows for controlled or delayed release. Beyond protection, coatings add visual appeal and facilitate product identification, making them essential for both pharmaceutical and dietary supplement manufacturing.

Our Types of Tablet Coatings

Besty Pharma provides four tailored coating solutions designed to meet diverse formulation requirements across pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and dietary supplements. Each system is engineered to optimize performance, stability, and consumer appeal.

Gastric-Soluble Coating Agents

Fast & Efficient Release: Designed for immediate-release dosage forms, these coatings dissolve rapidly in gastric fluids, ensuring quick onset of action.
Smooth Finish: Creates a uniform, elegant surface that enhances swallowability and patient compliance.
Operational Benefits: Easy to process, compatible with common coating equipment, and offers strong adhesion to tablet cores.

Enteric Coating Agents

Targeted Release: Provides acid resistance in gastric fluids, allowing active ingredients to reach the intestine intact.
Protection & Safety: Shields the stomach from irritation caused by certain actives and prevents degradation of acid-sensitive APIs.
Versatile Applications: Widely used for probiotics, enzymes, fish oil tablets, and pharmaceuticals requiring site-specific delivery.

Glossy Coating Agents

Premium Visual Appeal: High-gloss and pearl-effect finishes enhance product differentiation and strengthen consumer trust.
Durability: Strong, flexible films reduce tablet chipping, abrasion, and breakage during packaging and transport.
Marketing Edge: Creates a polished, luxury appearance suitable for branded supplements and OTC products seeking higher shelf impact.

Titanium Dioxide-Free Coating Agents

Regulatory Compliance: Developed to meet evolving global regulations restricting TiO₂ use in dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals.
Clean-Label Positioning: Appeals to health-conscious consumers and brands prioritizing transparency and safety.
Performance-Driven: Maintains film strength, opacity, and color vibrancy without compromising coating efficiency.

Deciphering Our Expertise in Film Coating

Our tablet film coating process integrates advanced formulation technology with precision-controlled application techniques to ensure optimal performance and reliable drug delivery. Each tablet undergoes thorough pre-coating preparation and evaluation to guarantee uniform adhesion. A customized coating solution is then applied with accuracy, forming a protective barrier that enhances mechanical strength, safeguards against gastric acid, and enables targeted or controlled release according to formulation needs.
