- Highest Performance, Superior Surface Adhesion, World-Class Medical Coatings
Our robust acid primer coating system allows the end user to maximize durability while also providing a coefficient of friction rating extremely similarly to that of pure PTFE. While other companies may open-market source their PTFE, Miller-Stephenson/Chemours is fully back integrated ensuring the highest of quality and supply chain standards. This in turn provides our customers with the assurance of Lot-to-Lot consistency and a product they can depend upon to delivery the performance they require. Moreover utilization of our PTFE medical coatings minimizes exposure, eliminates flammability, provides a smooth and thin coating to all medical wire. These formulations generate very uniform, thin films (5-10 microns) which exceed all ISO and ASTM requirements. Passes ASTM 1894 Coefficient of Friction; ASTM D3359 Adhesion Test; ISO 7802 Wire Wrap Test; ISO 11070 Corrosion Resistance Test.
These acid based primer 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-90XX medical coatings should be applied to smooth, clean metal. Bake requirements vary, depending on the specific coating.
