  • Film-forming composition; method of producing same and use for coating pharmaceuticals and foods and the like
    Patent number: 5258436
    Abstract: A water dispersible polymeric film-forming particulate composition for use in coating pharmaceuticals and foods or the like, produced by freeze-drying an aqueous solution of water-soluble cellulose acetate as the film-forming polymer, a plasticizer, and optionally a pigment, is described. The product mixes readily with water to form an aqueous dispersion which is applied in the conventional manner to solid pharmaceutical forms.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 23, 1991

  • Film-forming composition and use for coating pharmaceuticals, foods and the like
    Patent number: 5206030
    Abstract: A water-dispersible, particulate film-forming composition is produced by blending a mixture of particles of water-soluble cellulose acetate; pigment particles, a plasticizer for the water-soluble cellulose acetate, and a surfactant. The composition is useful as a film-forming material for coating solid pharmaceutical forms.
