Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to film-forming compositions for enveloping solid forms such as pharmaceutical or food products or seeds, wherein they comprise, by weight: 15 to 85% of a cellulosic film-forming substance, 10 to 70% of at least one alpha-cellulose, 5 to 30% of at least one plasticizer suitable for consumption.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
A process for enveloping solid forms such as pharmaceuticals, food products or seeds with a film-forming composition, comprising the steps of: making a solution or dispersion of the components of a film-forming composition comprising, by weight, 15 to 85% of a cellulosic film-forming substance, 10 to 70% of at least one alpha-cellulose, and 5 to 30% of at least one plasticizer suitable for consumption; and spraying said solution or dispersion on the form to be enveloped.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
76 words
A process for enveloping solid forms such as pharmaceuticals, food products or seeds with a film-forming composition, comprising the steps of: making a solution or dispersion of the components of a film-forming composition comprising, by weight, 15 to 85% of a cellulosic film-forming substance, 10 to 70% of at least one alpha-cellulose, and 5 to 30% of at least one plasticizer suitable for consumption; and spraying said solution or dispersion on the form to be enveloped.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
A process as in claim 1, wherein said solution or dispersion is in an aqueous medium.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
A process as in claim 1, wherein said cellulosic film-forming substance is selected from the group consisting of the alkylethers of cellulose, the hydroxyalkylethers of cellulose, the monocarboxylic esters of cellulose, and the mixed ether esters of cellulose.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
A process as in claim 3, wherein said cellulosic film-forming substance is a hydroxypropylmethylcellulose of low viscosity.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
A process as in claim 1, wherein said alphacellulose is added in the form of a powder with a granulometry of less than 100 microns.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
A process as in claim 5, wherein said alphacellulose is added in the form of a powder with a granulometry of less than 50 microns.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process as in claim 1, wherein said plasticizer is selected from the group consisting of polyethyleneglycol and the stearate of polyoxyethylene.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process as in claim 2, wherein said solution or dispersion contains up to about 25% by weight of said film-forming composition.
