FD&C certified colours
Here is the overview of the FD&C water-soluble dyes and FD&C Lakes.
High-quality, certified colorants for professional use in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
What are FD&C dyes?
FD&C stands for “Food, Drug & Cosmetics”—a classification by the U.S. FDA for approved colorants permitted for use in food, drugs, and cosmetics.
At extrachem.de, you can obtain these dyes in two forms:
FD&C Powder – Water-soluble dye powders
FD&C powders are water-soluble colorants in powder form. They dissolve quickly and evenly in aqueous systems and are ideal for:
- Beverages & Confectionery
- Pharmaceutical capsules & tablets
- Cosmetic formulations
- Aqueous solutions & syrups
Advantages of FD&C Powder:
- High color intensity
- Easy dosing
- Good solubility in water
- Precisely reproducible shades
FD&C Lakes – Oil- and fat-dispersible color pigments
FD&C lakes are produced by the adsorption of water-soluble dyes onto aluminum hydroxide. They are not water-soluble but are dispersible in oils and fats. Ideal for:
- Chocolate & Fat Systems
- Tablet Coatings & Sugar-Coated Tablets
- Lipsticks & Make-up
- Low-moisture baking agents
Advantages of FD&C Lakes:
- Excellent light stability
- Heat-resistant
- Ideal for fat-based products
