Aquarius™ Preferred film coating systems are state-of-the-art immediate-release coatings scientifically formulated with careful polymer selection. Unlike some film coating formulations based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) these formulations do not become tacky during or after application. Clear advantages in film coating process productivity are seen with high-solids suspensions. These formulations allow the solids content of the coating system to be increased significantly (typically up to 20% w/w solids for pigmented coatings, and in certain cases up to 25%) with viscosities in the range of 100–300 cP.

Aquarius™ Protect film coating systems are the premium multi-functional barrier coating systems that effectively reduce moisture uptake and mask against offensive taste and odor. Aquarius™ Protect multifunctional coating systems are fully formulated, ready-mixed systems that disperse quickly in water or other solvents. Aquarius™ Protect MB film coating systems are fully formulated, ready-to-mix, high solids moisture barrier coatings based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). In addition to improved productivity from high solids and low viscosity, these coating systems provide an attractive, glossy appearance and clear crisp logos.

Blanose sodium carboxymethylcellulose is an anionic water-soluble polymer which acts s a thickener, binder, stabilizer, protective colloid, suspending agent, and rheology or flow control or agent.
