Keeping Healthcare Workers Safe With Dip & Spray Coating
Healthcare environments require special care to keep staff and their patients safe. Polymer dip and spray coatings are an important, but often overlooked part of providing protection across the medical industry from germs, bacteria, and other contaminants and hazards.
Antibacterial and Antimicrobial Coatings
Many polymer coatings, whether applied by dipping, spraying, or fluidized bed coating, possess natural antibacterial and antimicrobial qualities. Additives are available for many coating formulations which can enhance these characteristics.
Sterilization Coating
Specialized sterilization coatings offer superior, long-lasting protection for tools, cases, and equipment that must safely withstand the heat, moisture, and pressure of repeated cycles in an autoclave.
How Coatings Keep Things Cleaner
Some coatings, such as nylon and Halar, provide a very smooth, even surface that offers multiple layers of protection. These coatings provide a barrier against moisture, corrosion, rust, wear and tear, and other damage which can create opportunities for contamination and sharp edges. Their smoothness minimizes places for germs and bacteria to linger on equipment and medical instruments. These protective coatings also improve equipment durability so it can be cleaned safely and effectively over and over.
Improved Protection with PPE
Polymer coatings on PPE improve its performance and durability so healthcare workers are better protected. Gloves, dispensers, face shields, and racks are among the products commonly protected with coatings such as epoxy and vinyl.
Comfort & Safety
Plastisol dip coating can improve comfort and ease of hard handles on equipment and medical instruments, reducing hand strain and making them easier to grip and use safely and for prolonged periods. Most plastic coatings can enhance safety with insulation against uncomfortable temperatures and electric current. Further protection comes with reducing the wear and tear caused by friction, abrasion, impacts, and other hazards.
