Abstract: The present invention pertains to a dual control sustained release drug delivery system which comprises a core and a porous coating layer over the core, wherein the coated core comprises (A) a core comprising in percentages by weight of the core composition (a) a medicament present in an amount from about 60% to about 90%; (b) an edible material having a melting point from about 25.degree. C. to about 100.degree. C. selected from the group consisting of (i) fatty acids having an iodine value from about 1 to about 10, (ii) natural waxes, (iii) synthetic waxes, and (iv) mixtures thereof, present in an amount from about 5% to about 40%; and (B) a porous coating layer over the core comprising in percentages by weight of the coating layer composition (a) a pH-independent water-insoluble polymer present in an amount from about 40% to about 80%; and (b) a water-soluble film forming polymer present in an amount from about 20% to about 60%.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with improved dental semi-solid or paste-like elastomeric materials which have the capability of precise surface detail reproduction at ambient and body temperature. Such materials are prepared by treating liquid polysulfide with a synergistic accelerator system comprising a metallic peroxide, e.g., zinc peroxide, 2,2' dithiobisbenzothiazole and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole.
