The invention relates to pharmaceutical, cosmetic, nutraceutical and food areas, in particular to compositions for coating tablets, capsules and other solid- or semisolid-form substances currently used in different application fields. More specifically, said invention relates to solid ready-for-use compositions for producing laminating solutions or dispersions for solid- or semisolid-form substances and is characterised in that the viscosity of said cold-regenerated solutions or dispersions is less than 1000 centipoises at a solid matter concentration greater than 20 %, wherein said viscosity is obtainable by using natural film-forming agents which are cold-soluble and exhibit a low viscosity in an aqueous medium at high concentrations.
