PHARMACEUTICALS

We can supply a range of powder food dyes and lakes that are suitable for use in pharmaceuticals. 

Please note that a ‘lake’ is the insoluble form of the food dye. The powders can be used to dry blend with medicines and excipients. 

If during manufacture, you are going to dissolve your products in water you can also check out our granular food dyes. 

These are much easier to handle and the granular form minimises the possibility of cross-contamination.

You can find our granular food dyes here, make sure to turn on the ‘granular’ filter: https://www.fastcolours.com/food-and-drink-2634-c.asp

Samples (approx. 20 g) are available for each dye. The cost of the sample is refunded on first-time purchase of 1 kg or more of the same dye.

For technical help, friendly advice and information, Please Contact Us.

Technical help is given to the best of our general knowledge without guarantee or warranty. It is the responsibility of the user to test the suitability of the products under their processing conditions.
