Abstract

Composition (C) for coating ingestible solid forms, comprising, per 100% of its mass—from 10% to 90% of a graft copolymer of polyvinyl alcohol and of polyethers (Pi), and—from 10% to 90% by mass of an auxiliary coating agent, characterized in that a non-zero mass proportion of said auxiliary agent is polydextrose. Processes for the preparation and use thereof.

Claims (17)

1. A film-coated solid form intended for gastric use and having a glossy appearance, the film formed by a coating composition (C) comprising, per 100% of its mass:

a) from 10% to 90% by mass of a grafted copolymer of polyvinyl alcohol and of polyethers (P 1 ); and

b) from 90% to 10% by mass of an auxiliary coating agent,

wherein a non-zero mass proportion of the auxiliary agent is polydextrose, and the ratio by mass of the grafted copolymer (P 1 ) to the polydextrose is less than or equal to 3, wherein the film-coating exhibits a gloss density of 1521 to 1707 and/or a degree of gloss of 0.77 to 0.80.

2. The film-coated solid form of claim 1 , wherein the coating composition (C) also comprises from 2% to 30% by mass of a plasticizer or of a mixture of plasticizers.

3. The film-coated solid form of claim 2 , wherein the coating composition (C) also comprises from 2% to 30% by mass of one or more coloring agents.

4. The film-coated solid form of claim 1 , wherein the coating composition (C) also comprises from 2% to 30% by mass of one or more coloring agents.

5. The film-coated solid form of claim 4 , wherein the coating composition (C) also comprises from 2% to 30% by mass of one or more inert fillers.

6. The film-coated solid form of claim 1 , wherein the coating composition (C) also comprises from 2% to 30% by mass of one or more inert fillers.

7. The film-coated solid form of claim 6 , wherein the coating composition (C) also comprises from 1% to 20% by mass of a glidant.

8. The film-coated solid form of claim 1 , wherein the coating composition (C) also comprises from 1% to 20% by mass of a glidant.

9. The film-coated solid form of claim 8 , wherein the ratio by mass of the grafted copolymer (P 1 ) to the polydextrose in the coating composition (C) is less than or equal to 3/2.

10. The film-coated solid form of claim 1 , wherein the ratio by mass of the grafted copolymer (P 1 ) to the polydextrose in the coating composition (C) is less than or equal to 3/2.

11. The film-coated solid form of claim 1 , wherein the ratio by mass of the grafted copolymer (P 1 ) to the polydextrose in the coating composition (C) is greater than or equal to 1/3.

12. The film-coated solid form of claim 11 , wherein the ratio by mass of the grafted copolymer (P 1 ) to the polydextrose in the coating composition (C) is greater than or equal to 2/3.

13. The film-coated solid form of claim 1 , wherein the ratio by mass of the grafted copolymer (P 1 ) to the polydextrose in the coating composition (C) is between 2/3 and 3/2.

14. The film-coated solid form of claim 1 , wherein the coating composition (C) is in the form of an aqueous dispersion, a powder or ready-to-use granules.
