Colorcon, a provider of film coating systems and excipients for the pharmaceutical and nutritional industries, has launched OptiClenz High Performance Cleaning.
 
As companies continue to face production challenges with increased demand and pressure to improve operational efficiency, OptiClenz unlocks capacity with cleaning for the film coating process by reducing the time for coating pan cleaning through targeted residue removal and elimination of manual intervention with a simple soak and spray methodology.
 
In support of this new capability, Colorcon has partnered with Dober for the exclusive distribution rights of Chematic detergents for the film coating process in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets.
 
“OptiClenz, High Performance Cleaning combines the trusted performance of Dober’s Chematic detergents with Colorcon’s film coating knowledge,” said Kelly Boyer, vice president, film coatings, Colorcon. “Our customers will benefit as our technical experts provide optimized OptiClenz solutions to help manufacturers establish the most effective cleaning for their film coating operations. With our exceptional understanding of film coating, Colorcon can enhance operational efficiency and ensure that quality issues related to improper cleaning, such as contamination or scuffing of the tablet surface are eliminated.”
 
Dan Dobrez, executive vice president, Dober Chemical Corp. said, “We are proud to be a part of Colorcon’s OptiClenz platform. Dober has over 30 years of experience formulating cleaning agents targeted for critical process applications. Our innovations bring cleaning process efficiencies and are a natural fit to Colorcon’s film coating technologies. This partnership exemplifies the synergies in our company’s philosophies of providing customers with high quality systems and services that yield high quality results.”
 
Chematic detergents are specially formulated water-based cleaning solutions which improve operator safety and help protect the environment, aligning with Colorcon’s corporate values and commitment to reduce waste and protect the environment.
 
The launch of OptiClenz means manufacturers can improve throughput and turnaround time with more efficient cleaning of coating equipment.
