- Advanced Chemistry; Optimized Coating for Temperature Sensitive Alloys
Our next generation, acid primer-free, nitinol wire coatings are optimized to provide superior adhesion and lubricity to temperature sensitive metallic alloys. No other product on the market can match the adhesion characteristics and durability of our coating technology. 850G-100X is a next-generation nitinol wire coatings by Chemours™ / Miller-Stephenson™ that provides excellent adhesion and corrosion protection on a variety of substrates (Nickel-Titanium alloys and high temperature plastics) while maintaining an extremely low coefficient of friction (high lubricity). These nitinol wire coatings are the path forward for companies who want to stay ahead of the regulatory restriction of Chromium-6 while enhancing consistency, surface adhesion, and minimizing coefficient of friction
- Nitinol Wire Coatings – Water-based, Low-Temp Cure, Superior Adhesion and Coefficient of Friction
These water-based coatings are formulated with special blends of fluoroplastics and other high-performance resins to improve toughness and abrasion resistance. Being a one-coat system, our nitinol wire coatings develop a durable, thin-film on the surface of the substrate which stratifies the fluoropolymers to the surface during baking.
Miller-Stephenson’s PTFE guidewire coatings can be applied via spray or dip methods. Proper post-application curing equipment is critical to guarantee performance and durability. Acceptable curing equipment include high temperature ovens which can safely maintain temperatures of 400-800 degree Fahrenheit or IR ovens.
Performance and facts of fluoropolymer medical coatings:
- No Cr(VI)
- Water-based
- One coat system
- Non-corrosive, non-flammable, low VOC
- One year shelf life stored at room temperature
- Comparable low coefficient of friction as PTFE- Cr(VI) based coating
- Coated Nitinol passed Adhesion test , ASTM-3359
- Coated Nitinol catheter guidewires passed flexibility / adhesion tests, ISO11070 Annex F wrapping test
- Coated Nitinol catheter guidewires passed corrosion resistance, ISO11070 Annex B, saline soak test
- Positive feedback from customer evaluations
