- Next Generation chromium-free, water-based chemistry; Ultra-Low coefficient of friction; superior durability
Our next generation, acid primer-free, medical coatings are optimized to provide superior adhesion to medical wires, metallic medical devices and numerous other applications. No other product on the market can match the adhesion characteristics, durability or coefficient of friction of our coating technology. 850G-104X are next-generation fluoropolymer medical coatings by Chemours™ / Miller-Stephenson™ that provide excellent adhesion and corrosion protection on a variety of substrates (including stainless steel) while maintaining an extremely low coefficient of friction (high lubricity). These medical coatings are the future of the medical industry and companies who want to stay ahead of the Regulatory restriction of Chromium-6 while enhancing consistency, surface adhesion, minimal coefficient of friction on there medical devices and wires. These formulations can 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.
- Fluoropolymer medical coatings – Superior performance, maximized surface adhesion and smoothness
Miller-Stephenson’s proprietary coatings are formulated with special blends of fluoroplastics and other high-performance resins to improve toughness and abrasion resistance. Because the film components stratify during baking, most of the fluoroplastic properties (such as low friction and nonstick character) are retained. The 850G-104X medical coatings should be applied to clean and smooth metal surface only. Bake requirements vary, depending on the specific coating and desired thickness.
