Achieve Longevity and Durability With Sterilization Coating

Safe, durable, long-lasting, and heat-tolerant are just a few of the characteristics that make nylon powder coating an ideal choice for sterilization coating. Suitable for use from the operating room to the robotics lab, sterilization coatings offer the security and longevity required in these demanding environments.

What Is Sterilization Coating and Why Is It Helpful

Sterilization coating is used to protect metal parts and equipment, typically in healthcare settings, including operating rooms. It is applied by electrostatic spray or fluidized bed techniques, resulting in a perfectly smooth, gapless, thin film. Nylon is naturally extremely durable, resilient, and provides long-lasting protection in nearly any environment. As a sterilization coating in particular, it offers:


  • A smooth, seamless surface that resists bacteria and other microorganisms
  • Tolerance for numerous rounds of autoclave heat and pressure
  • Protection from impacts, abrasions, and other risks
  • A non-absorbent barrier against chemicals, corrosion, moisture, and other hazards
  • A non-toxic, renewable material
  • A cost-effective solution for improved safety and efficiency

Applications for Sterilization Coatings

As you might expect, sterilization coatings are most commonly used in environments where germs and bacteria are a large risk, so hospitals and other healthcare facilities can benefit from surgical trays and cases with this protection. Other medical equipment can also benefit, such as defibrillator paddles and other equipment that comes into direct patient contact.

Industries and environments where ultra-cleanliness is key are also suitable candidates for sterilization coatings. Such applications include equipment for the semiconductor and microelectronics industries and robotics industries. Tools and equipment for scientific and research labs must also meet strict hygiene requirements, and nylon sterilization coating is an ideal choice here, too.
