The term ‘coating’ usually implies a membrane formed directly on a substrate. It separates two phases between which fluids (gases, vapours or liquids) may be exchanged.It is distinguished from ‘film’, a term used interchangeably with coating, which, however, refers to a preformed, stand-alone membrane (a film becomes a coating when applied onto a substrate) When used in relation to solid dosage forms, a film coating can be defined a polymer-based thin membrane applied onto the surface of tablets, capsules, granules and spheroidal unit dosage forms.The coating generally imparts certain desirable attributes to the dosage that are otherwise absent in the uncoated form.Such attributes include impartation of colour and branding marks, alteration of drug release properties, protection of sensitive ingredients or masking offensive odours or tastes, among others.Pharmaceutical coatings are usually dense, non-porous films obtained from polymeric substances and are typically ≤ 100 μm thick although films with much higher thickness are not atypical.The use of polymer film coatings is not limited to solid dosage forms: many other products are routinely encased in polymer films of various types. For example, medical devices are coated with silicone resins to provide lubricity and protection.It can be classified into two specific classes; functional FC can be used to modify or delay drug release as well as the aforementioned benefits in the non-functional coating. On the other hand, nonfunctional FC which is used to change tablet appearance, organoleptic properties, swallowing properties, and to protect tablets from the negative effect of the environment such as humidity, oxidation, and light effects.
