Kollicoat® MAE 30 DP is an aqueous dispersion with a solids content of 30% (w/w). The low viscosity product has a weak characteristic odour and a milky white or slightly yellowish appearance. Based on the solid substance the dispersion consists of about 97% (w/w) Methacrylic acid and ethylacrylate copolymer (1:1), 2.3% (w/w) Polysorbate 80 and 0.7% (w/w) sodium lauryl sulfate. Kollicoat® MAE 30 DP is miscible with water in any ratio while retaining its milky-white appearance. The polymer is insoluble in aqueous buffer systems with an acidic pH value between 1 and 5 and dissolves at pH-values of 5.5 and higher. The main application is enteric coating of solid oral dosage forms.
