| METHOCEL™ Premium VLV saves time and money |
| Thanks to the low molecular weight of METHOCEL™ Premium VLV, the solids level in tablet coating solutions can now be increased by 110% with less impact on the viscosity of the solution. This leads to: |
| REDUCED COATING TIME BY 46% The low molecular weight of METHOCEL™ Premium VLV delivers an increase in the solids concentration of the coating solution of up to 110%. Increase solid level by 110% and reduce coating time by 46%. |
| IMPROVED SUSTAINABILITY PROFILE Using METHOCEL™ Premium VLV in a coating system helps improve the sustainability profile per batch of coated tablets: • 46% less energy consumed thanks to lower coating temperature • 35% reduction of CO2 emissions • 45% reduction of water necessary for the coating process |
| *Excluding coating material costs. These figures are based on a model with assumptions, including the application of a single coat. Actual figures may vary given a customer’s specific operation, but fundamental productivity advantages should still hold. |
