Medical Industry Coatings

Our innovative FDA approved coating systems are widely used on medical devices and equipment where surface release and low friction are key requirements.

High accuracy and a low co-efficient of friction are the key requirements for miniature high speed bearings, as used in dentistry drills. Armourcote® has developed thin film coating systems for use in this arduous application.

A leading supplier of super conducting body scanning magnets required a coating to release resin potted super conductive filament wire from their mould tools. This application required not only surface release but excellent abrasion and wear resistance from the epoxy resin system used. The Armourcote® 4500 Series coating, which took three years to develop, provided the solution.
