Pharmaceutical colours are widely demanded in the production of medicine, be it tablets, syrups, or ointments. Our customized blends help not just the manufacturer of such medicinal drugs, but also the end-user.

The pigments and colours we offer are well-researched with uncompromised quality standards, such as:
- Water Soluble Colours (powdered & granular form)
- Water Insoluble Lakes that are very finely textured and suitable for tablet coatings.

These are water insoluble form of Aluminium Lakes of Food Colours used in food applications, producing brighter and more vivid colours.
Neelikon offers the complete range of aluminium lake colours made from primary food colours meeting appropriate food legislation namely that of USFDA, European Community, JECFA/CODEX, Japan, China or India.
Aluminium lakes are produced by the adsorption of water soluble dye onto a hydrated aluminium substrate rendering the colour insoluble in water. The end product is coloured either by dispersion of the lake into the product or by coating on to the surface of the product.
In general lakes are more stable than the corresponding water-soluble colours, producing brighter more vivid colours and are most suitable for products containing oils and fats, or products lacking sufficient moisture to dissolve Colours.
