Confectionery Glazes & Polishes
For the shiniest, most attractive confections, our glazes are the best. Not only to they add gloss easily, but can impart other special effect ingredients for adding speckles, spots and other effects.
To prevent the migration of oils in chocolate, compound coatings and other fat-based applications, we have barriers that work well for panning and compliment our other Opaglos®, tablet core sealant product systems.
For jelly and gummy confections, try our oil-wax dispersions. Using food-grade oils and waxes, these formulations clean starch-molded confections and provide high-shine while alleviating stickiness.
Contact Colorcon today to ask about our other Opaglos products for shine, protection and decreasing tackiness.
