01 · THE CUSTOMER PROBLEM
Tablet developers need a coating that processes consistently and delivers the required protection, taste masking or release behavior without compromising the core.
Mykito tunes chitosan viscosity, charge density and blend compatibility around the coating process and target release profile.
Chitosan forms continuous films that can add protection and functional release behavior to oral solid dosage forms.
02 · RECOMMENDED STARTING POINT
Start with the material designed for the decision.
By engineering solubility, viscosity, charge density and blend compatibility, Mykito can help translate chitosan from a promising polymer into a practical tablet-coating system.
Without the shell
Controlled fungal sourcing supports a traceable, non-animal supply strategy.
Specification engineered
MW, DDA, purity, charge density and format are selected around the target result.
Application ready
Powder is only the starting point; Mykito also develops films, fibers, gels, coatings and formulations.
One technical partner
Material selection, formulation support and the validation plan are connected from the first sample.
03 · PERFORMANCE TARGETS
Build toward outcomes a buyer can measure.
Film formation
Uniform polymer films create a continuous functional layer around the tablet core.
Release control
Coating thickness, crosslinking and blend composition can be used to develop delayed or sustained release.
Core protection
A chitosan layer can be evaluated as a barrier against moisture, handling or incompatible formulation components.
Taste masking
Functional coatings can reduce immediate contact between selected actives and the oral cavity.
04 · GO / NO-GO CRITERIA
Define the evidence before testing begins.
The first program is designed around three decision-making outputs—not an open-ended material trial.
Spray and process compatibility
Film integrity and moisture protection
Taste masking or dissolution profile
05 · FROM SAMPLE TO DECISION
A practical application program,
not a bag of powder.
Define
Agree on the function, baseline, constraints and measurable success criteria.
Screen
Select the MW, DDA, purity, dose and physical format that fit the application.
Validate
Test the winning system in the finished formulation, device, process or use environment.
Recommended first request: A viscosity-matched ChitoGene coating-grade screening set.

Cationic complexation + matrix control
Protonated amino groups can interact with selected anionic actives, polymers and biological surfaces. MW, DDA, crosslinking and architecture then provide levers for adhesion, protection and release.
There is no universal concentration. Grade and dose are screened against pH, interacting ingredients, process conditions and the target performance profile.
Route-specific purity, residuals, compatibility, stability and regulatory suitability are established for the finished system.
