Logo Bridging

 

 

Possible Causes Solutions
  • Inadequate adhesion of the film coating
    		•
  • Select OPADRY II formulation for improved adhesion characteristics
    		•
  • Surface characteristics of the product being coated(e.g. hydrophobic substrate)
    		•
  • Modify core formulation to include more hydrophilic ingredients (where possible) or increase core porosity
    		•
  • Inappropriate design of logo(e.g. too detailed or too fine)
    		•
  • Select a different logo design (with increased area within the debossing and modified angles)
    		•
  • Insufficient plasticizer in film /
    high internal stress
    		•
  • Reduce spray rate / increase drying rate
