Lustrous Coating
Shine Beyond the Surface – Enhance Tablet Elegance & Appeal
COAT ICON ® LC is a specially formulated film coating system designed to impart a high-gloss, shiny appearance to tablets. Ideal for premium nutraceuticals and pharma products where aesthetics matter as much as function.
These are used to create pearlescent effects on tablets.
For instance, Candurin ® Red Lustre is a mica-based pigment combined with titanium dioxide and/or iron oxide to produce a red lustrous appearance.
