Döhler coating systems for a brilliant look!

Whether for chocolate, fruit gums or soft dragées – we offer tailored solutions for your product application. Our coating systems give your products a radiant look!

Ideal for

  • all kinds of chocolate

Chocolate not only needs to taste good – it should also look appetising too. Döhler produces a wide range of chocolate glazes and food varnishes that give chocolate intensive, long-lasting shine. Chocolate dragées require a corresponding surface treatment. Edible filming agents made from gum arabic, glucose syrup or starch combined with a shellac solution are applied to the surface. Precise knowledge of the entire coating and polishing process enables the products to be used efficiently. The chocolate polishes are extremely stable, free-flowing and easy to work with even under difficult production conditions.


Particular advantages 

  • Low viscosity
  • Ready to use
  • For universal use without special adaptation to the chocolate type

Ideal for

  • all types of sugar-coated nuts, fruits and chocolate centres, as well as soft dragées

Polishing is the final step in dragée production. Whether sugar-coated chocolates or soft dragées, the sugar polish emphasises the shine and quality of the natural colours. The polishes protect against moisture and give the sugar coating a high-gloss surface. They are characterised by their neutral taste and fast drying and polishing times.

Ideal for

  • fruit gums and jelly items based on gelatine, starch, pectin, gum arabic and carrageen

Whether fruit gums and pastilles, traditional or foam wine gums or jellies – they all need final surface treatment to ensure that the individual sweets do not stick together in the packet. To achieve this, Döhler offers fruit gum polishes: a dispersion of natural waxes in highly-stable, sustainable plant oils, that prevent the confectionery from sticking together. They are characterised by outstanding shine that has a positive effect on the confectionery’s freshness and taste. Thanks to a particularly small particle size distribution in the waxes, the coatings have an extremely soft and pleasant mouthfeel.

Particular advantages

  • Very fine particle size
  • Available in sustainable qualities

Ideal for

  • extruded liquorice and laces

Extruded liquorice is a shiny, jellied confectionery with a semi-solid consistency. Myriad fruit flavours can be added to the shiny, jellied sweets. Before packaging, the extruded laces are covered with a special liquorice polish. This increases the product’s shine and ensures that the pieces do not stick together in the packet. Döhler provides a wide range of premium liquorice polishes for this special application. The liquorice polish is available as a ready-to-use solution or as a concentrate that needs to be diluted before use.

Particular advantages

  • No shellac
  • Concentrate can be diluted individually to optimise performance
