  • Video Rapid Response to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Ban on TiO2 as a Food Additive as it Relates to Film Coatings

    This session was originally broadcast as part of the CPHI Worldwide 2021 digital content programme. The session discusses: Challenges faced when removing TiO2 from film coatings Aquarius TM TF. A reliable and effective alternative to TiO2 in film coatings Improved process economics with Aquarius Genesis TF high-solids TiO2-free film coating
  • Video Excipient Engineering and Design to Improve Processing of Oral Controlled Release Formulations

    Hydrophilic polymer matrix systems are widely used in oral controlled drug delivery because of their flexibility to obtain a desirable drug release profile, cost effectiveness, and broad regulatory acceptance.

    Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) is the key matrix former used in the majority of formulations. As controlled release formulations continue to evolve, so does the need for more robust and flexible matrix forming polymers. Join this learning lab session to:
    understand key mechanistic aspects of hypromellose-enabled hydrophilic matrix tablets discover how polymer engineering results in optimized Benecel HPMC grades (new Benecel XR & XRF HPMC grades) learn about the advantages of Benecel DC Hypromellose in flow and loss-in-weight (LIW) feeding for continuous manufacturing compared to regular HPMC grades
