Eastman C-A-P NF Cellulose Acetate Phthalate

Eastman C-A-P NF Cellulose Acetate Phthalate is a pharmaceutical-grade enteric polymer from Eastman’s C-A-P NF series—designed for pH-dependent drug release in oral solid dosage forms. It offers excellent film-forming, coating stability, and regulatory compliance (USP/NF, EP, JP). Widely used in tablets and capsules to prevent gastric degradation and ensure intestinal delivery.

Features Of Eastman C-A-P NF Cellulose Acetate Phthalate

  1. Enteric coating polymer compliant with United States National Formulary (NF) and FDA requirements for pharmaceutical use.

  2. Provides pH-dependent solubility—insoluble in gastric fluid (pH < 5.5), rapidly dissolves in intestinal fluid (pH ≥ 6.0).

  3. Offers excellent film-forming capability with good mechanical strength and low moisture permeability.

  4. Compatible with common plasticizers (e.g., triethyl citrate, acetyl tributyl citrate) and widely used excipients.

  5. Supplied as a free-flowing, off-white to light tan granular solid with consistent batch-to-batch performance.

Typical Applications Of Eastman C-A-P NF Cellulose Acetate Phthalate

  1. Enteric-coated tablets and capsules for targeted drug release in the small intestine.

  2. Functional barrier coatings in oral solid dosage forms to prevent gastric degradation of acid-labile APIs.

  3. Coating agent for taste-masking and moisture protection of bitter or hygroscopic active ingredients.

  4. Matrix former in sustained-release multiparticulate systems (e.g., coated pellets and beads).
