Coating: The Euronovis method for nutraceutical coating

Euronovis is the ideal partner for tablet coating as a contract manufacturer in the nutraceutical sector. We offer advanced coating solutions for all types of oral solids (tablets, capsules, soft gels, pellets, and granules), using polymeric or sugar-based films with aesthetic, protective, customized, or gastro-resistant purposes.

Extensive experience, pharmaceutical know-how, and state-of-the-art facilities. Euronovis, the Italian specialist in nutraceutical coating, is capable of meeting the specific coating requirements for oral solids of every client. We guarantee high-quality results, achieved through a multidisciplinary approach that considers the compatibility of coating agents, the therapeutic target, and the regulations of the commercialization countries.

Aesthetic coating

Customized nutraceutical coating

Euronovis provides tailor-made aesthetic coating solutions to make dietary supplements visually appealing while simultaneously protecting them from external agents. Our extensive expertise, which has made us a leader in Italy, enables us to reproduce qualitative and quantitative formulations of existing products or create new formulations tailored to our clients’ needs.

Color matching

Our R&D department utilizes advanced colorimetry technologies to offer clients top-quality color matching services. We can accurately replicate the coating color of existing market products or develop custom shades, always ensuring homogeneous and long-lasting results.

Protective coating and masking

Our protective coatings shield products from humidity, oxygen, and UV rays, enhancing the stability of their active ingredients. Additionally, we provide taste and odor masking solutions, effectively covering unpleasant flavors and smells to improve patient compliance and product acceptance.

Functional coating

Optimized active ingredient release

Functional coating is crucial to optimize product efficacy by modulating the release of active ingredients throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Euronovis supports clients with consultancy services to select the best solutions to meet specific therapeutic requirements.

Gastro-resistant Coating

Our gastro-resistant coatings protect active ingredients from gastric acidity, ensuring release occurs in the intestinal tract, where absorption is most effective. This type of coating is ideal for substances prone to degradation in the stomach.

Modified release coating

We also offer modified-release coating solutions, allowing the adjustment of dissolution rates to enhance active ingredient efficacy over time and optimize absorption.

Euronovis operates an advanced production plant just minutes from Milan Linate Airport. Our facility is equipped with cleanrooms and certified production lines, ideal for contract coating. The air filtration and conditioning systems ensure optimal control of temperature and humidity conditions. A technical area, located on a mezzanine above the cleanroom, houses all necessary utilities for the production process.

Our production lab’s coating equipment was entirely developed by our partner Nicomac. The machinery for tablet and oral solid coating ensures perfect core mixing, uniform coating solution distribution, and highly efficient drying. With a production capacity ranging from 1 kg to 350 kg per batch, we offer optimal flexibility to meet every client’s needs.
