We are involved in manufacturing, exporting, distributing, trading and supplying Pharmaceuticals Glaze in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.

Pharmaceutical glaze is a shellac -based solution of various types of food-grade shellac. When used in food and confections, it is also known as confectioner's glaze, resinous glaze, pure food glaze, natural glaze, or confectioner's resin.
It's a common ingredient in children's medicines and even some children's frozen foods.

Pharmaceutical glaze may contain 20a 51% shellac in solution in ethyl al-- (grain al--) that has not been denatured (denatured al-- is poisonous), waxes, and titanium dioxide as an opacifying agent.
Pharmaceutical glaze is used by the drug and nutritional supplement industry as a coating material for tablets and capsules. It serves to improve the product's appearance, extend shelf life and protect it from moisture, as well as provide a solid finishing film for pre-print coatings. It also serves to mask unpleasant odors and aid in the swallowing of the tablet.
The shellac coating is insoluble in stomach acid and may make the tablet difficult for the body to break down or assimilate. For this reason, it can also be used as an ingredient in time-released, sustained or delayed-action pills. The product is listed on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) inactive ingredient list.
