https://www.maximizemarketresearch.com/market-report/global-cellulose-acetate-phthalate-market/80480/ The cellulose acetate phthalate is also known as cellulosi acetas phthalas and cellacefate. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is widely used as a matrix binder or microencapsulation agent, tablets and capsules, and the manufacturing of enteric coating film materials. It is dissolved in a neutral intestinal or mildly acidic environment, but it resists elongate contact with strongly acidic gastric fluid. In controlled-release formulations, it is often used in conjunction with other coating agents, such as ethyl cellulose, and it is odourless and tasteless.
