Benefits of Using Plastic Dip Coating in the Medical Industry
The unique and critical demands of the medical industry require parts and equipment which perform well under extreme and unusual conditions. Plastic dip coatings offer numerous benefits to improve the durability and performance of the medical devices, parts, and equipment they protect. Some of the benefits dip coatings offer the medical industry include:
Comfort
Whether a piece of equipment would benefit from a softer handle to reduce hand fatigue, improved grip for handling, or adding a more gentle feel for patient comfort, coatings such as plastisol can help.
Durability
Protecting critical equipment from damage when dropped, and from abrasion and other hazards, plastic coatings such as plastisol and
Halar can improve the longevity of valuable medical equipment and components.
Chemical & Corrosion Resistance
Medical equipment is exposed to numerous chemicals, cleaning solvents, and other compounds, and must work flawlessly in these environments. Many plastic coatings can offer resistance to these harsh and sometimes corrosive substances.
Smooth Surfaces
Some medical applications require superior smoothness to perform adequately.
Nylon and other coatings can protect against miniscule burrs and other signs of machining and manufacturing.
Insulation
Virtually all plastics are excellent insulators, serving to protect patients, healthcare providers, and valuable equipment from exposure to extreme temperatures and electrical conductivity.
Reduced Friction
Many medical parts and equipment components need to slide together and work in conjunction without the heat and wear that can be caused by friction. Plastic coatings such as Halar and nylon can greatly reduce friction with coated parts.
Antimicrobial and Antibacterial
Many plastic coatings have innate antimicrobial and antibacterial qualities. These special characteristics are naturally suited to medical applications.
