TPR Lab tablet coater

Tablet coating is a covering or film coating that is applied to the surface of a particle or a tablet for different purposes. The motivation for coating dosage forms ranges from:

• Applying colour and gloss
• Improving the stability, for example in form of light protection, moisture and gas barrier
• Making it easier to swallow the tablet

Also, functional coatings can be used to modify the drug release behaviour from the dosage form. Depending on the polymers used it is possible either to delay the release of the drug or use the coating to sustain the release of the drug from the dosage form over extended periods of time.

With the TPR Lab tablet coater it is possible to minimise the costs and time for research & development for the production processes.
