Oral Thin Film Mechanical Properties Characterization

Oral thin films are a novel drug delivery system that is gaining popularity due to their convenience, ease of administration, and rapid onset of action. As with any pharmaceutical product, it is essential to characterize the mechanical properties of oral thin films to ensure thin film products' performance and stability. Combined with the basic characteristics of oral thin film, CD Formulation comprehensively characterizes the mechanical properties of oral thin film based on ICH quality guidelines.

Importance of Characterizing Oral Thin Film Mechanical Properties

• Good mechanical properties help ensure the structural integrity and durability of the oral thin films during manufacturing, packaging, storage, and transportation.
• Assessing factors such as tensile strength, elasticity and flexibility can guide optimization of thin film formulation to prevent problems such as tearing, cracking or brittleness.
• The mechanical properties of oral thin films play a significant role in their performance and effectiveness in delivering medication or active ingredients. Proper characterization can adhere to the oral mucosa, disintegrate rapidly, and release the drug in a controlled manner.

Our Oral Thin Film Mechanical Properties Characterization Services

Our experienced team of experts uses state-of-the-art testing equipment and technology to ensure accurate and reliable results. Our oral thin film mechanical properties characterization services include folding endurance testing, tear resistance testing, tensile strength testing, thickness testing, Young's modulus testing, etc.

Folding Endurance Testing

Folding endurance represents the brittleness of the thin film, that is, the number of folds that break or have obvious creases after folding in the same position, the fewer the number of folds, the higher the brittleness of the oral thin film.

Tear Resistance Testing

Tear resistance testing is used to assess the ability of oral thin film to withstand tearing forces. This test measures the force required to tear the thin film material and provides insights into its strength and durability. Tear resistance testing of oral thin film ensures that the thin film maintains integrity during handling, packaging, and administration to patients.

Tensile Strength Testing

Tensile strength, also known as the strength limit, refers to the maximum force used when pulling off oral thin film.

Thickness Testing

The thickness of the oral thin film is usually controlled within 10 - 100 μm to ensure good mechanical strength and solubility.

Percentage Elongation Testing

Percentage elongation in oral thin film is a measure of how much the thin film can stretch before it breaks. A higher percentage elongation indicates that the thin film can stretch further before breaking, making it more flexible and resistant to damage.

Young's Modulus Testing

Young's modulus testing of oral thin film is a crucial evaluation method used to measure the stiffness and elasticity of thin film. Young's modulus is a material property that describes how a material deforms under stress and is an important parameter for understanding the mechanical behavior of oral thin film.
