Poly(vinyl acetate) phthalate-based and acrylic-based enteric coating systems are evaluated for their performance on acetylsalicylic acid tablets in areas such as acid resistance and coated-tablet stability.

This study attempts to determine the combination of excipients found in commercial ASA products that would be suitable for use in an aqueous enteric film­coating process.
