Film Coating

Introduction: A Thin Layer, A Big Impact

At Shine Health, we understand that even the thinnest layer can make a world of difference. That’s why we’ve dedicated ourselves to the development of advanced functional film coating technologies. Whether you're formulating solid dosage forms, creating controlled release profiles, or optimizing coating solutions, our mission stays the same—help you create better, safer, and more effective film coated tablets.

We don’t just sell powder. We deliver confidence, consistency, and a promise that your tablet core will be protected from production to patient.

Why Film Coating Matters in Solid Dosage Forms

Let's start with the basics. In today’s pharmaceutical landscape, solid dosages dominate. They’re convenient, cost-effective, and widely accepted. But raw tablets can crack, absorb moisture, or taste bitter. They may even degrade faster if exposed to light or air.

That’s where film coating steps in.

Our advanced film coating formulation ensures:

• Taste masking for bitter APIs

• Mechanical strength enhancement

• Moisture and oxygen barrier protection

• A professional, glossy finish that boosts brand trust

• Reliable drug delivery with modified release options

Film coating is not a luxury. It’s essential.

Product Features That Give You the Edge

We designed our coating materials to deliver performance on every level. Whether you're focused on aqueous film coating, working with an organic solvent, or balancing sensitive active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), we’ve got you covered—literally.

Key Features:

• Rapid adhesion to tablet cores

• Smooth and uniform surface finish

• Color stability across batches

• Low viscosity and easy sprayability

• Adaptability to various coating techniques and machines

• Compatible with both delayed release and controlled release formats

We don’t just manufacture powder. We engineer outcomes.

Benefits That Speak for Themselves

So what do these features mean in the real world?

Here’s what you’ll gain with Shine Health's film coating powder:

• Fast processing: No clumping, no downtime

• Scalability: Whether you're a small lab or a global manufacturer, our product fits your workflow

• Flexibility: Works for both sugar coating and high-speed modern film coating

• Sustainability: Eco-friendly options with reduced reliance on titanium dioxide

• Enhanced release control: Reliable delayed release or modified release capabilities

• Better user experience: Patients get easier swallowing, better taste, and improved visual appeal

These aren’t just technical wins. They improve compliance, satisfaction, and ultimately—outcomes.

A Peek Into Our Coating Process

We’ve streamlined the film coating process to ensure purity, precision, and performance.

Here's how we do it:

1. Raw material sourcing: Only certified, traceable suppliers

2. Ingredient prep: Granulation and particle sizing for consistency

3. Blending: High-shear mixers ensure uniformity

4. Screening: Prevents dust, agglomerates, and spray issues

5. Final packaging: Moisture-proof and ready for direct use

Each batch is tested for viscosity, flowability, color intensity, and adhesion properties. That way, when the coating hits the surface of the tablet, it behaves exactly as you need it to.

Where Quality Begins—Raw Materials That Matter

Let’s talk about where our story really starts—ingredients.

We handpick our coating materials from trusted supplier networks. From polymers and plasticizers to pigments and detackifiers, each input goes through rigorous quality control.

Whether we’re using aqueous film coating systems or organic solvents, we demand:

• Purity: No unnecessary additives

• Stability: No surprise reactions

• Consistency: Every lot meets identical standards

We even offer options that reduce reliance on titanium dioxide, in line with growing global preferences for cleaner, label-friendly coatings.

Smart Technology in Our Production Workshop

We love showing off our facility. Why? Because it’s built for excellence.

• GMP-certified cleanrooms

• Real-time data monitoring

• Automated blenders and classifiers

• Precision batch tracking

Every machine, every workstation, every technician follows SOPs that minimize risk and maximize repeatability. The result? You get a coating powder that performs the same—every single time.

Mastering Coating Techniques for Better Results

We’ve worked with film coating techniques from across the globe. From traditional pan coating to advanced fluidized bed systems, our formulations are compatible with:

• Top-spray coating

• Bottom-spray coating (Wurster process)

• Tangential-spray systems

• Continuous coating lines

Whether you're building a controlled release profile or fine-tuning for a quick disintegration, we’re here with the know-how and the formula to help.

Packaging Designed for Protection and Convenience

We don’t just protect your tablets—we also protect the coating powder itself.

Our packages include:

• Triple-sealed moisture barriers

• Clear labeling for easy stock rotation

• Bulk or small-batch options

• Eco-friendly containers when requested

And don’t worry about global logistics. Our powder has traveled safely to more than 30 countries.

After-Sales Support: The Relationship Continues

Once you purchase from us, the journey’s just begun.

We provide:

• Formulation assistance

• Coating machine calibration support

• Troubleshooting if anything goes wrong

• Customized reformulations as your needs evolve

• Training resources for new staff or equipment upgrades

We stand by our partners. Not just with words—but with solutions.

Why Controlled and Delayed Release Are the Future

We’re excited about what’s next in pharma. Modified release coatings—like delayed release and controlled release—are revolutionizing how APIs behave in the body. And we’re right at the center of that movement.

Our coatings help:

• Target delivery to the small intestine or colon

• Avoid gastric irritation

• Extend half-life

• Reduce dosing frequency

• Improve patient adherence

Your science drives the innovation. Our film coating makes it possible.

Sugar Coating vs. Film Coating: Let’s Clear the Confusion

We often get asked, “Is sugar coating still relevant?” Here’s the truth.

Sugar coating offers great taste and appearance but takes longer and is less precise. In contrast, film coating provides:

• Faster application

• Better mechanical strength

• Accurate dose control

• Compatibility with modified release systems

We support both—but recommend film coating for modern efficiency and flexibility.

Real Results from Our Clients

From Asia to Europe, our clients report:

• 25% reduction in coating time

• Consistent batch uniformity across 100K+ tablets

• Improved stability in humid environments

• Zero recalls due to coating issues

And that means everything to us. Because we’re not in this just for the orders. We’re here for the success stories.

Our Mission as a Manufacturer and Supplier

As a global manufacturer and supplier of film coating powders, we take pride in offering both innovation and reliability. We don’t believe in “good enough.” We believe in better—always better.

From developing custom colors to meeting new regulatory guidelines, we never stop learning. We never stop evolving. And we never stop caring.
