Precision coating medical and pharmaceutical products involves many complex variables and stringent quality guidelines. A contract manufacturer with experience developing medical product coatings can help determine the feasibility of a formulation to assist in bringing new products to market quickly and efficiently.
Read MoreThe subject of reshoring, or bringing manufacturing operations back to the U.S. from overseas, is generating attention, study and debate because of the factors driving the trend. Companies that moved manufacturing offshore in the past decade have been blamed for hefty losses of American jobs, stifling U.S. GDP and increasing the trade deficit. The specter
Read MoreWhat do pharmaceutical, food, electronic and designer apparel products have in common? All are at risk for tampering, counterfeiting, spoilage, theft and other brand-killing catastrophes. Security packaging is a fast-growing specialty field that addresses these risks for a wide range of industries and their consumers. Security packaging is most recognized for its pharmaceutical and OTC
Read MoreThe best coating method for a given application depends on the end-product requirements, the conditions in which it will be manufactured, and the potential “robustness” of the method and coating solution – plus a view to the long-term economics. There is not a “best method” that fits all uses, but having both a palette of
Read MoreThe ability to resist the penetration of moisture and gasses is vital for many types of products, including pharmaceutical products (e.g., capsule blister-packs), food packaging, and electronics (such as OLED, quantum dots and photovoltaic applications). Moisture barrier materials are normally applied as coatings or membranes to help protect these and other products from being compromised.
Read MoreHardcoated films improve performance and protect against abrasions, scratches and chemicals, either in finished products or during manufacturing processes. Testing for hardness is complicated and somewhat subjective. Carestream applied the knowledge gained from our work in performance-critical industries to devise a stringent hardness testing process for hardcoat films used in electronic, display, graphic and optical
