Profile: Colorcon, Inc. offers pharmaceutical products and services to support all phases of solid dose design & development. Our core specialty is the design and technical support of advanced coating systems, modified release technologies & functional excipients for pharmaceutical dosage forms. We develop and supply formulated coatings & other excipients for the pharmaceutical industry. We offer core excipients, film coatings, printing inks, enteric coating system, water soluble resins, ethylcellulose polymers and cellulose ethers. We provide a wide range of complete film-coating systems, modified-release technologies and excipients to assist all pharmaceutical & nutritional supplement companies. Our modified release technologies for delayed/enteric and extended/controlled release applications simplify the production process, providing consistent drug release over time. We manufacture a range of immediate release core excipients for pharmaceutical tablets and capsules. Our versatile products provide important functionality including binding, disintegration and lubrication. Our products feature some of the most advanced pharmaceutical technology available in solid oral dose formulations. Our core excipients bring multi-functional benefits to tablets and capsule formulations. We are effective in a variety of pharmaceutical unit operations for solid oral dosage forms and have excellent stability. Our custom formulated products ensure accurate color matching for specific color requirements, as well as excellent batch-to-batch color reproducibility. We manufacture and represent extended release coating systems derived from ethylcellulose, one of the most popular & regulatory accepted polymers in the pharmaceutical industry. The application of an ethylcellulose film from aqueous dispersion/organic solution provides the formulator, the means to control the release of drug from a tablet/multi-particulate via diffusion of the drug through the ethylcellulose film.
