Our Spectrashield™ EN-K product is a methylacrylic/ethyl acrylate enteric coating system that is environmentally friendly in an aqueous system:

• Consists of few ingredients
• Has no neutralization reconstitution
• Is applied with either an organic or aqueous-based solvent system.
• Is applied at lower weight gains

DIFFERENTIATING APPLICATION BENEFITS

• One-step processing
  • Water medium – some foam in an all aqueous system
  • Solvent medium – i.e., ethanol, isopropanol
• Can be applied to tablets, capsules, spheres and multi-particulates
• Easy suspension preparation ~ 10 to 12% Solution Solids
• Coats acidic, basic or moisture-sensitive cores
• Conventional pan coating
