Co-Polymer acrylic (API) is a specialized film-forming agent widely used in pharmaceutical formulations, especially in aqueous film coating systems for tablets and granules. It enhances product stability, controls drug release, and improves aesthetic appeal. Known for its excellent adhesion, flexibility, and compatibility with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), this polymer is ideal for both immediate-release and modified-release dosage forms.

Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Film-Forming Agent in Tablets: Used in enteric or sustained-release coatings to control drug release in the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Binder in Granulation: Acts as a dry or wet binder in tablet formulation to ensure proper compaction and integrity.
  • Topical Formulations: Used in gels and creams as a film former and rheology modifier.

2. Performance Chemicals

  • Intermediate for Functional Polymers: Serves as a base polymer for producing functional acrylic resins or copolymers.
  • Emulsion Polymerization: Acts as a stabilizer or co-reactant in emulsion systems for advanced polymer synthesis.

3. Construction

  • Concrete Admixtures: Enhances adhesion, flexibility, and water resistance of cementitious formulations.
  • Waterproof Coatings: Used in waterproofing membranes and elastomeric roof coatings for flexibility and durability.

4. Agrochemicals

  • Controlled Release Matrix: Used in agrochemical formulations to enable slow release of active ingredients.
  • Adjuvants: Enhances dispersion and spreadability of pesticide sprays on plant surfaces.

5. Paints, Coatings & Adhesives

  • Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA): Used in labels, tapes, and medical plasters for strong yet removable adhesion.
  • Construction Adhesives: Improves strength, flexibility, and bonding on various substrates including concrete, metal, and glass.
  • Silicone-Compatible Sealants: Acts as a compatibilizer and binder for hybrid sealant formulations.
