The transfer of technologies from coating and laminating for technical products ensures efficient production of medical and pharmaceutical products.

KROENERT’s contribution to medical and pharmaceutical applications

The transfer of technologies from coating and laminating for technical products ensures efficient production of transdermal active ingredient patches, wound dressings and many other medical and pharmaceutical products that use machine production by means of roll-to-roll coatings.

KROENERT has been involved in creating lines for the production of tablet packaging material (blister packaging) since the 1960s.

All lines are designed and built in accordance with the GMP guidelines agreed on between the operator and KROENERT and can also be used under cleanroom conditions.

Examples of applications

Active ingredient patches/TDS

Coating of various carriers with pharmaceutically prepared compositions/preparations incl. active ingredients. In some cases with self-adhesive components. Examples: Nicotine, heat or hormone patches

Diagnostic test strips

Coating or impregnation of foils, papers or non-woven fabrics with water-based or solvent-based fluids, e.g. as diabetes test strips for determining blood sugar levels.

Wound dressings

Coating of silicone gel and also adhesives on e.g. films, nonwovens or fabrics or also PU foam. Applications are medical dressing material and active substances that promote wound healing

Self-dissolving 

Coating of e.g. a gel-like soluble mass onto a silicone carrier
