Presentation of Materials: Selection of Surface Treatments Chosen in the Medical and Pharmaceutical Fields

Non-stick, sliding, and wear-resistant surface treatments for chutes, guides, and sealers are effective for speeding up pharmaceutical packaging machines and making them maintenance-free.

The production sites for medical and pharmaceutical products require not only high productivity but also very strict cleanliness standards. In pharmaceutical packaging machines, there is a demand for speed-up for efficiency and maintenance-free operation, leading to the adoption of Bicoat® and fluoropolymer coatings to improve non-stick properties, slip resistance, and wear resistance for guides and sealers. In tablet production lines, Bicoat® is used on tablet presses, hoppers, and guides to enhance the slip properties of tablets, contributing to quality improvement. Additionally, fluoropolymer coatings are used on stages, hot plates, and parts that come into contact with paraffin in pathology testing equipment. ■ Applications for medical drip fusion sealers, pathology testing equipment, etc. - Selected surface treatments: 'Fluoropolymer coating', 'Bicoat®' ■ Applications for tanks, material supply machines, chutes, etc. - Selected surface treatments: 'Urethane coating', 'Saflon® AP+' ■ Applications for centrifuges, etc. - Selected surface treatments: 'Saflon® AP+' ■ Applications for adhesive drugs and tape transport fixtures, etc. - Selected surface treatments: 'TP series, CTT series, Super Alloy, CAT, CMT'
