If you are manufacturing nutritional and dietary supplements, you know it can be a challenge to meet production demands and eliminate product defects. At Colorcon, we are dedicated to assuring our customers' success by continuously investigating new applications of our products to help meet those challenges.
Below are links to Colorcon application studies conducted that can help manufacturers improve their product quality, eliminate waste and lower their overall costs.

Coating Soft, Waxy Cores
Dietary supplement cores can be rough and waxy making it difficult to produce a good quality product. Colorcon film coating products can reduce defects and protect friable cores giving your product a superior finish and a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Improve Stability
Herbal extracts, prepared by an alcohol/water extraction method, tend to be very hydroscopic in nature. A drug layering process, followed by application of a moisture barrier film coating can help improve the stability of products processed in this way.

Increase Packaging Efficiency
Colorcon has investigated some of the key factors that will influence the efficiency of blister packaging lines. What we found is that packaging film coated tablets was much more efficient than packaging uncoated tablets.
