The delayed release Methcoat grades eases gastrointestinal targeted drug release which helps formulator to have targeted drug delivery in like Jejenum (5.5 pH), Duodenum (6.0 pH) and Colon (7.0 pH).

* Easily combined to achieve a specific dissolution pH
* Highly stable, with rapid dissolution for precise targeting
* Well-defined characteristics to safeguard the gastric mucosa from aggressive actives
* Able to protect the transit of APIs sensitive to gastric fluid
