US Patent:

20100275814, Nov 4, 2010
Filed:

Nov 5, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/741769
Inventors:

True L. Rogers - Bomlitz-Benefeld, DE
Debora L. Holbrook - Pinconning MI, US
Karen A. Coppens - Midland MI, US
Robert L. Schmitt - Annandale NJ, US
International Classification:

C09D 101/26
B05D 1/02
US Classification:

1061721, 4274274
Abstract:

The present disclosure Is directed to cellulose ether compositions for film-forming coating applications. A coating composition is provided which contains an aqueous solution of either a very low viscosity cellulose ether or a low-hydroxypropyl cellulose ether, the coating composition having low color, The low viscosity of the cellulose ether component enables the coating composition to contain a high concentration of cellulose ether. Provision of these high concentration cellulose ether coating solutions improves production efficiency by reducing the time required to coat a substrate.

Filed:

Oct 9, 2012
Appl. No.:

14/350535
Inventors:

- Midland MI, US
Karen A. Coppens - Midland MI, US
Mark J. Hall - Gaylord MI, US
Jin Zhao - Midland MI, US
Assignee:

DOW GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC - Midland MI
International Classification:

A61K 9/48
US Classification:

424451
Abstract:

An injection-molded shell of a dosage form of good quality is producible by a) providing a composition comprising i) from 25 to 90 weight percent of ethylcellulose, ii) from 7.5 to 60 weight percent of a polysaccharide or polysaccharide derivative being different from ethylcellulose, and iii) from 2.5 to 50 weight percent of at least one component being different from polysaccharides and polysaccharide derivatives, based on the total weight of the composition, with the proviso that the composition comprises zero or not more than 10 weight percent of gelatin and zero or not more than 10 weight percent of a polymer comprising homo- or copolymerized acrylic acid, homo- or copolymerized methacrylic acid, a homo- or copolymerized acrylate or a homo- or copolymerized methacrylate, and b) subjecting the composition to shearing and heat to plasticize the composition and injection-molding the plasticized composition into a three-dimensional shell of a dosage form.
