Opadry® fx Special Effects Film Coating System

 

Opadry fx is an aqueous film coating system designed to impart a pearlescent and lustrous finish which will help to create a unique appearance on a solid dosage form. Opadry fx will take your product to a higher level of brand differentiation. The Opadry fx system is offered in an array of colors and when coupled with a pigmented Opadry® II Complete Film Coating System sub-coating, will allow a nearly infinite selection of shades and hues along with high levels of gloss.

Beyond brand recognition offered through this unique appearance, the Opadry fx film coating system can also provide an effective layer of added security against tablet counterfeiting. The pearlescent effects are evident at low application levels of the coating, and optimal pearlescence is established at a nominal cost per dosage. Opadry fx is a valuable alternative when compared with achieving differentiation through high gloss techniques that do not involve a film coating.

Opadry fx is an effective coating system that is easy to use, cleans with water, and is applied utilizing standard film coating equipment and techniques. Utilization of Opadry fx will create novel products with existing assets.
