Capsule A Cracking Length: 0:27 Posted: 1/10/2010
A two-piece hard gelatin capsule (Capsule A) filled with 100 percent
dimethylacetamide (DMA) cracks spontaneously in areas of high tensile
stress. DMA, a very hygroscopic material, causes the cracks to form
quickly. Similar cracking appears more slowly in capsules filled with
less aggressive materials, such as PEG 200 and PEG 400. See
"Influence of mechanical stress on the formation of cracks in two-piece capsules" in the January 2010 issue.

Capsule B Cracking
Length: 2:15 Posted: 1/10/2010
A two-piece hard gelatin capsule (Capsule B) filled with 100 percent
dimethylacetamide (DMA) cracks spontaneously in three areas: the
bottom of the locking ring, the juncture of the locking ring and
shoulder, and the area where the body rim contacts the cap shoulder.
See "Influence of mechanical stress on the formation of cracks in two-piece capsules" in the January 2010 issue.
