Formulation of effervescent tablets can be tricky due to poor compressibility and segregation tendencies that come from different particle sizes of the components. Self-sustaining effervescent reaction is very sensitive to moisture that creates an additional challenge for product manufacturing and shelf life.
CITROCOAT® EP as an agglomerated compound has an edge over the use of separate components for tableting providing higher reactivity, better storage stability, compactibility and less granular convection. As an example, we are sharing a formulation of Multipurpose Cleaner tab where we were able to achieve the target tablet hardness with reduced compression force and improved tablet storage stability.
