Colorcon, Inc. and BASF announce their cooperation for using immediate release coating polymer Kollicoat IR for Colorcon’s fully formulated ready-to-use coatings.

Adding Kollicoat IR as an alternative for use in targeted Opadry complete film coating systems expands the cooperation between Colorcon and BASF.

Kollicoat IR, an ethylene glycol and vinyl alcohol graft copolymer, is BASF’s highly versatile and safe-in-use instant release coating polymer. This polymer enables processing at low temperatures and high solids content while delivering targeted coating results.

Kollicoat is monographed in all major markets, and has furthermore received GRAS status (Generally Regarded As Safe) in the U.S. and the European E-Number (E1209) for application in dietary - nutritional supplements.
