Jungbunzlauer’s coated acids offer wide-ranging benefits across industries by enhancing stability in effervescent and dry formulations, improving processability in tableting and powder applications, and enabling sustainable, eco-friendly packaging solutions with minimal environmental impact.

  1. Sustainability and eco-friendly formulations: Coated acids are produced via natural fermentation processes from renewable raw materials, supporting eco-friendly and sustainable product formulations.
  2. Improved stability and process efficiency: The surface modification of citric acid, such as in CITROCOAT® N and CITROCOAT® EP, enhances product stability by reducing hygroscopicity, preventing premature reactions, and improving compressibility, making them ideal for dry formulations like effervescent powders and tablets.
  3. Enhanced product quality and functionality: These coated acids offer superior reactivity and tablet hardness with lower compression forces, ensuring high-quality, durable products that reduce processing time and minimise friability.
