Ideal Cures Instamoistshield
- Chemical Family
- Cellulose & Cellulosics
Instamoistshield is cellulose based, fully formulated, high-performance dry powder film coating system for use with organic or hydro-alcoholic solvent systems. It can be used as a basic film coating system in its own right or as a protective seal coat prior to further processing. It is suitable for all types of coating equipment.

- Benefits
Coatings are smooth, glossy and resistant to physical damage. Packaging speeds are enhanced.; Solids levels up to 9% (hydro-alcoholic) or 5% (organic) facilitate rapid coating.; Rapid suspension preparation.; Minimal impact on dissolution and disintegration.; Overcomes polymer tack issues and contributes to coating speed.; Reduction or complete elimination of water in solvent system for products with such high moisture sensitivity that fully aqueous systems cannot be used.; Easy scale-up and transfer to different equipment types or manufacturing sites.; Suitable for batch and continuous processes.; Facilitates product registration in multiple regulatory environments.
- Features
Cellulosic polymer system.; Correct balance of water soluble and insoluble elements in coating formulation.; Glidant; Can be applied in a wide range of equipment designs and sizes from most manufacturers.; Organic or hydro-alcoholic systems.; All ingredients widely recognized with long history of pharmaceutical use.

Cellulosic Polymers; Plasticiser; Titanium Dioxide; Edible Pigments, Glidant.
- Reconstitution Process
Instamoistshield (Organic or Hydro-alcoholic): Add the weighed quantity of solvent to a mixing vessel.; Using a mechanical stirrer, stir the solvent to form a vortex.; Add the required quantity of Instamoistshield to the center of the liquid vortex in a slow steady stream, avoiding clumping while maintaining a vortex. Once the entire quantity of powder has been added, reduce the stirrer speed to eliminate the vortex. Continue mixing for 45 minutes.
- Regulatory Information
All products are checked for the regulatory compliance of all ingredients in the target countries and market segments of sale. This determination is made at the time the initial formulation is established, based on customer-supplied information. If market countries and/or segments are extended once the formulation has been established, customers are encouraged to contact us to ensure that regulatory compliance is not compromised.
- Equipment / Accessories
- Variable-speed mechanical stirrer
- Mixing Vessel
- Recommended Process Conditions
Tablet bed temperature offers the most effective way of controlling the coating process. Where this measurement is unavailable, exhaust temperature may be substituted. However, the relationship between the two measurements is complex and depends on several factors such as pan load, pan depression, pan design and airflow rate. Indicated exhaust temperature may be above or below the true bed temperature. It is recommended that the relationship between the two measurements is calibrated.
- Recommended Solvent System and Reconstitution Level
- 75% IPA + 25% Purified Water at up to 9% solids
- 35% IPA + 65% MDC at up to 5% solids
