Description :

Overview of Cellulose Acetate Phthalate

Cellulose Acetate Phthalate (CAP) is a high-quality, film-forming polymer widely used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and coating industries. It serves as an enteric coating agent, protecting active ingredients from gastric degradation and ensuring controlled release in the intestine. CAP is known for its excellent solubility, stability, and compatibility with a wide range of pharmaceutical excipients.

Cellulose Acetate Phthalate is the standard globally accepted name for this polymer and is commonly referenced in pharmacopeia guidelines, drug formulation documents, coating specifications, and safety data sheets.

Applications of Cellulose Acetate Phthalate

Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Formulations

Used as an enteric coating material for tablets, capsules, and granules to ensure delayed release of active ingredients. Compatible with excipients like Microcrystalline Cellulose, Magnesium Stearate, and Talc.

Film Coating & Controlled Release

Applied in sustained-release and delayed-release formulations to protect drugs from stomach acid and enhance bioavailability. Works effectively with polymers like Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) and Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA).

Capsule & Tablet Coatings

Used in tablet and capsule coatings to provide acid resistance, improve stability, and mask taste. Ideal for vitamins, probiotics, and sensitive drug compounds.

Research & Development

Applied in R&D for developing novel oral dosage forms, enteric-coated nutraceuticals, and advanced drug delivery systems.

Safety & Handling Guidelines

• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place
• Keep containers tightly sealed to avoid moisture and contamination
• Avoid inhalation of powder; use gloves, goggles, and appropriate PPE
• Follow MSDS guidelines for handling, first aid, and disposal
