Acryl-EZE®

Aqueous Acrylic Enteric System (Delayed Release)

Acryl-EZE® aqueous acrylic enteric systems are a range of fully formulated coatings that provide pH-targeted resistance. The formulations are designed for use on tablets or multiparticulate solid oral dosage products, including proton pump inhibitor (PPI) applications.

Ensuring the Best Match for Your Application

Delayed release oral solid dosage forms are widely used to protect the gastric mucosa from irritating actives or to protect drugs sensitive to gastric fluids.

Acryl-EZE®, aqueous acrylic enteric systems are a range of fully formulated high-performance coatings that provide pH targeted resistance. The formulations are designed for use on tablets or multiparticulate solid oral dosage products, including proton pump inhibitor (PPI) applications.

Targeted pH Applications

Acryl-EZE is available for use with choice of plasticizer for application flexibility and customization, and protects against acidic conditions with fast release in buffer (small intestinal fluids) conditions.

Acryl-EZE II is an optimized high-performance coating that offers enteric protection in the intermediate pH range media, suitable for proton pump inhibitor (PPI)  applications and provides enteric protection at lower weight gains compared to Acryl-EZE systems.

Performance Validated through In Vivo Studies

Acryl-EZE II formulations can provide enhanced enteric protection up to pH 5.0 through the addition of a specialized top-coat. In vitro drug assay performance
has been validated with a human volunteer study in the challenging fed state conditions demonstrating comparable bioavailability on omeprazole multiparticulates.
