Today’s consumers are demanding products that are as “natural” as possible, especially in the nutraceuticals space. They’re looking for products that eliminate a long list of ingredients, including artificial colors and titanium dioxide (Ti02), a natural metal element that for decades has been used as a white pigment and opacifier in empty capsules.
Our HPMC Ti02 free empty capsules in bulk enable you to meet this demand. By choosing these HPMC Ti02 free capsules made with natural colorants you can:
• Expand your product’s appeal – These vegetarian Ti02 free capsules support your “clean label” claims and sustainability goals. The capsules are vegan registered with the Vegan Society and both Kosher and Halal certified. They are completely free of Ti02, artificial colorants, GMOs, preservatives, starches, contaminants, heavy metals, prions, TSE, BSE, and all common allergens. Plus, the process of producing the natural colorants used does not involve the use of harmful and/or polluting chemicals.
• Meet regulatory demands – Our HPMC Ti02 free empty capsules in bulk are made in a cGMP and FDA-approved facility using raw materials that meet all requirements of the current U.S. and European pharmacopeias. If you are selling nutritional supplement products in the European Union, the use of Ti02-free capsules has been a requirement since August 2022.
• Get 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 HPMC Ti02-free capsules made with natural colorants are all the same as our “regular” HPMC capsules.
These HPMC Ti02-free capsules can therefore be used to address a number of formulation challenges, including encapsulating formulations that are moisture-sensitive or hygroscopic, have low solubility, or are at risk for cross-linking. They can be used for a broad range of applications, formulations, and fill types, such as powders (including absorbent powders), granules, beads, tablets, oils, liquids, gels, pastes, or even a mix of fill materials.
• Have a long shelf life – If maintained at the recommended temperature of 59°-86° Fahrenheit / 15°-30° Celsius, with a relative humidity between 35 and 70%, these capsules will have a five-year shelf life.
• Align with your brand aesthetic – These HPMC Ti02 free capsules in bulk are available in a variety of sizes and nine popular natural colors. They can be custom printed on the capsule’s body and/or cap, either radially or axially.
• Protect your fill material from light – Although Ti02-free capsules are translucent, you can choose a color that provides light protection for the necessary wavelength. Just be aware that some natural colorants will fade when exposed to IR or UV light for periods of time; this point can be easily addressed with your packaging.
• Enjoy excellence machinability – Due to their high strength, consistent quality and dimensions, easy separation and closing properties, and ideal capsule-to-tooling fit, these Ti02 free capsules in bulk will run well on your automatic filling machines—even with lubricant-free “clean label” or high fill quantity products. This minimizes loss and maximizes the profitability of each production run.
