Created and developed by ALFRED L.

From pre-coating or gumming the centers of dragees/pan-coated goods with sugar-based QUICK COATTM or polyol-based QUICK COATTMSUGARFREE to polishing/glazing the surface with QUICK SHINETM or QUICK GLANZTM and sealing the brilliance with QUICK LACTM, the Confectionery Performers allows for an easy handling, a quicker production process with a better product stability of the finished products. QUICK ACIDTM cares for the souring effect in dragees/pan-coated goods, either inside the kernel and/or in the surface covering.
