Not all PTFE Coatings are Created Equal
Applied Plastics innovates by providing the best-performing coating solutions to the medical device market. We work closely with you to understand your product’s characteristic needs and then provide you with the coating solution to optimize your product performance.
Discover the PTFE Natural Difference
Superior Lubricity
The lower the Coefficient of Friction of a coating, the more lubricious it is. A more lubricious tool can lead to higher yields and improved product quality, while enhanced lubricity in a component can enhance the performance of a product.
Exceptional Adhesion
The better a coating adheres to the substrate, the more confident you can be that the product will perform as required and not flake during use.
Unrivaled Durability
A more durable coating has a better wear rate, leading to a longer useful life and a lower per-use cost over its lifetime for mandrels while providing confidence that your components will withstand the tortuous paths of the human body.
