- Usage Recommendations
Miller-Stephenson’s Fluoropolymer 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.
- Applications
Vascular guide wire
Miller-Stephenson’s PTFE coatings are specifically designed for unmatched adhesion and coefficient of friction in vascular guide wires. Our coatings ensure smooth wire insertion, easy of traversing, and reduction in vascular spasms.
Disposable/Nondisposable Cautery
The low coefficient of friction of our PTFE coatings minimizes biological deposits during cauterization and the uniform, thin film does not hinder the heat tranfer properties of the electrode.
These formulations generate very uniform, thin films (5-10 microns) which exceed all ISO and ASTM requirements.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Fluoropolymer Medical Coatings
Our PTFE-coatings are optimized to provide superior adhesion to stainless steel guidewires and other metal wire. No other product on the market can match the adhesion characteristics and durability of our coating technology. These formulations generate very uniform, thin films (5-10 microns) which exceed all ISO and ASTM requirements. Extremely Low coefficient of friction tested by ASTM 1894; ASTM D3359 Adhesion Test; ISO 7802 Wire Wrap Test; ISO 11070 Corrosion Resistance Test
