The specialized sanitary and hygiene demands of the medical and healthcare industry require powder coating that can safely protect metal tools and equipment during repeated use and high-temperature and pressure sterilization processes. Nylon sterilization coatings are up to the challenge. Here are some answers to common questions we've received about sterilization coatings.
Sterilization coating is applied with a type of synthetic polyamide (nylon).
Thin, even, smooth sterilization coatings typically range from about .005" (5 mils) to .04" (40 mils).
Nylon offers a combination of qualities that make it particularly well suited for sterilization applications, including:
As with most powder coatings, sterilization coating can be applied by electrostatic spray or through fluidized bed techniques. Choosing between these application methods depends mainly on the shape and structure of the product being coated, and desired coating thickness.
Because of the temperatures needed to cure sterilization coatings, substrates must be able to withstand that exposure. Typical substrates are made from various steel and aluminum alloys.
The medical industry uses sterilization coating most often, typically for surgical instrument cases and trays and other medical equipment which comes into direct patient contact. Truly, any industry requiring nylon's unique combination of physical, thermal, and mechanical characteristics will benefit from its many advantages.
