Titanium dioxide (Ti02) is a natural metal element approved by the FDA that has been used as an ingredient in food and empty capsules for decades as a white pigment and opacifier. Our gelatin Ti02 free empty capsules in bulk offer:
ֽ• Regulatory compliance – The European Union has banned the use of titanium dioxide in food and food supplements. If you are selling nutritional supplement products in the European Union, using Ti02 free capsules is now a regulatory requirement. Outside of the EU, it may become a requirement in the future.
Our Ti02 free capsules are made using raw materials that meet all requirements of the current U.S. and European pharmacopeias.
ֽ• Product appeal – Making products Ti02 free is a clear market trend, and many consumers are specifically looking for this. Using Ti02 free capsules can enable you to put a “Ti02 free” burst on the front of your product packaging, thereby broadening its appeal in the marketplace.
ֽ• Normal functionality – Eliminating Ti02 does not impact the capsule’s functionality or performance. The strength, stability, shelf life, ability to withstand variations in temperature and humidity, and dissolution profile of our gelatin Ti02 free capsules are all the same as our “regular” gelatin capsules.
These Ti02 free capsules can therefore be used for a broad range of applications, formulations and fill types, including powders, granules, beads, tablets or even a mix of fill materials. Be aware, however, that because of their high water content, gelatin capsules should not be used with absorbent powders or liquid ingredients.
ֽ• Long shelf life – If maintained at the recommended temperature of 59°-77°Fahrenheit / 15°-25°Celsius, and at a relative humidity of between 35 and 65%, these capsules will have a five-year shelf life.
ֽ• Fully customizable – To align with your brand aesthetic, gelatin Ti02 free capsules in bulk are available in a variety of sizes and colors, and can be custom printed on the capsule’s body and/or cap.
ֽ• Light protection – While gelatin Ti02 free capsules are translucent, they do provide some masking and protection from the light for your product’s fill material.
ֽ• Excellent machinability – You’ll appreciate the way these capsules’ strength, outstanding capsule-to-tooling fit, consistent dimensions, and easy separation and closing properties reduce waste on your high-speed filling machines.
