Silver powder for coating on pharmaceutical tablets

Eltecks Corporation has developed a special silver powder, grade EP, for coating pharmaceutical tablets. The usually available silver powders in the market are not suitable for this purpose as they contain objectionable inorganic and organic impurities, which are harmful to human health if used in the coatings. Eltecks silver powder grade EP is fine, silvery shinny, lustrous, and flaky (flake size: length; 12-15 (m, breath; 5-7 (m and thickness 0.5 (m), which can be easily dispersed in the usual solvents used for tablet coating purpose. It has a purity of 99.99%, and tap density of 2.426 gms/cc. It is much more economical, safe, and convenient to use this silver powder, grade EP when compared to the presently used silver foil technique. It is available in 500 gm, 1 kg, and 5 kg packings.
