Calcium Carbonate as TiO2 Alternative in Coating



WEBINAR

Uniform colored and white coatings applied to tablets create a homogeneous appearance, improving patient compliance. Concerns about titanium dioxide have led to an increased interest in suitable alternatives. Calcium carbonate is currently seen as the most likely alternative.

This webinar highlights how particle engineering supports the optimal performance of calcium carbonate in coating applications, comparing our new alternative to titanium dioxide, the industry benchmark. We will present comprehensive study results of color measurements and provide you with tools on how to optimize coating formulation development and achieve appealing white finishings without titanium dioxide.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • The latest regulatory trends and implications in the EU for titanium dioxide, the extensively used colorant and opacifier in medicinal products
  • How particle engineering supports optimal performance of calcium carbonate in film coatings, comparing the product to titanium dioxide
  • How high efficiency can be maintained in the spraying process
  • How color measurements and screening methods can be utilized to optimize the final finishing in the formulation development
