GlideLine - Two Coating PTFE Systems
The GlideLine™ family of medical device coating finishes is the broadest offering of applied fluoropolymer (PTFE) coatings in the industry, customized to optimize the design, quality, and performance characteristics of your high-quality medical products. You can choose two types of medical grade fluoropolymer coating chemistries for medical devices; an aqueous-based PTFE coating and a solvent-based coating.
All PTFE is made by undergoing a free radical polymerization process combining carbon and fluorine atoms. These polymers of PTFE have very high molecular weights of long straight chain molecules of carbon and fluorine. Combine this with the fact that the carbon to fluorine bond possesses great strength, these polymers exhibit excellent low friction, release, heat resistance, and chemical resistance.
