Abstract: Provided is a hard capsule. The provided hard capsule includes water-soluble cellulose ether, about 0.5 parts by weight to about 1.5 parts by weight of a gelation agent based on 100 parts by weight of the water-soluble cellulose ether, and about 0 parts by weight to about 0.3 parts by weight of a gelation aid based on 100 parts by weight of the water-soluble cellulose ether, wherein the hard capsule comprises a body and a cap that seals the body, and a ratio of a maximum thickness to a minimum thickness of the body and the cap is each 2.5 or less.

Abstract: This invention relates to a coating formulation, a coating formulation for manufacturing an electrode plate and an undercoating formulation, and their use. These coating formulations are all characterized by containing, in a polar solvent, a hydroxyl-containing resin and an organic acid and/or a derivative thereof. The hydroxyl-containing resin is at least one of (1) a polyvinyl acetal resin, (2) an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, (3) a modified and/or unmodified polyvinyl alcohol, and (4) a cyanoethyl-containing polymer. According to the present invention, there is provided a coating formulation capable of forming a coating of excellent adhesion and solvent resistance on a surface of a metal material such as an aluminum material.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of screen printing an electrically conductive feature on a substrate, the electrically conductive feature including metallic anisotropic nanostructures, and a coating solution therefore.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved method of manufacturing substantially spherical/ball-shaped tartaric acid starter pellets which are suitable for preparing active substance-containing medicament formulations, as well as the pellets as such that may be obtained in this way, and their use as starting material for the preparation of active substance-containing medicament formulations.

Abstract: A coating composition for use as a surface coating for polymer release films for use in at least one of high temperature and high humidity applications, which comprises a solution of at least one hydroxypropyl methylcellulose having hydroxypropyl molar substitution of from 0 to about 0.82 in combination with at least one water-borne fluorochemical additive selected from perfluoralkyl methacrylic acid copolymers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a release coating composition that may be applied to a film that may then be used as a substrate useful for applications requiring release for a broad range of temperatures and high humidity conditions, which temperatures may range from about 20° C. to about 210° C. These applications include release substrate used in the manufacture of calendared cured sheet rubber and molding paste composites, such as sheet molding compound (SMC), thick molding compound (TMC), bulk molding compound (BMC) and fiberglass composites. The release coating composition comprises a solution of a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose having hydroxypropyl molar substitution of from 0 to about 0.82. In a preferred form, particulate solids are present in the composition.

Abstract: The current invention relates to a coating composition comprising a polyisocyanate compound, a hydroxyl-functional film-forming polymer, and a nonvolatile branched monoalcohol. An aliphatic branched monoalcohol is preferred. More preferred are long chain non-volatile branched monoalcohols. This results in coating compositions that have improved flow behavior and that produce coatings having improved appearance without an adverse effect on other properties.
