Anti-leak capsules
Embo Caps LP+ two-piece capsules—
manufactured on unique mold pins that
reduce cap-body clearance—have four
dimples on groove of cap to lock cap-
sule and to prevent separation. Cap-
sules minimize leaks of liquids, fine
powders, hot melts, heavy slurry prod-
ucts, and other fills that are difficult for
softgels. Company offers three types:
LP+ VG capsules made from HPMC;
LP+ Fish for marine-derived omega-3
formulations or those that require low
oxygen permeability; and LP+ PEG
(polyethylene glycol) capsules for
hygroscopic formulations.
