I just want to know whether there is a subtle difference between "cubierta" and "recubrimiento", i.e. "casing/outer coating" versus "coating"..?
Thank you for any help.

| | Clarification request(s) and responseNiki-K: 2:54pm Mar 8, 2008: Liz: Tks for selecting my sugg. However, maybe you should reconsider about "outer", because it came to me last night while I was doing something else, that there cannot be an "inner" coating, so "outer" would be superfluous. Maybe. Happy Women's Day.

| | composition of coating | Explanation:
Liz, I would go for just "coating". I would bet my soul that it is just bad drafting. You see that lower down your text mentions "recubrimiento".
"Cubierta" would be "cover", or maybe "covering". If you want to be strict you could opt for "composition of covering" and you would not be too far out, but I believe "coating" is the appropriate term. IMHO. |

Asker: Sure, but can you suggest the English equivalents.
Or is
outer casing OK for "cubierta"?
I want the pharmaceutical term you see.
