What makes SilcoTek® the best choice over other medical device coating suppliers?

1. Our coatings don't flake or shed- Our process deposits a proprietary bio-inert coating at the molecular level of the substrate that can be flexed and scratched without damage, unlike fluoropolymers or polyolefins.
2. Our surfaces perform better- SilcoTek coated surfaces are more functionally inert, corrosion resistant, hydrophobic, scratch resistant and non-stick than others.
3. Nothing is too hard to coat- Our gas phase coating process can apply highly pure, dense, thin (<1µm) coatings to narrow channels, complex shapes, and otherwise challenging device components.
4. We build quality into everything- SilcoTek® is ISO 9001:2015 certified and holds various credentials for our coatings. Our coating processes are tightly controlled by programmable logic and emphasize validation, traceability, certification, inspection, delivery, risk management, and continuous improvement.
5. Our services can't be beat- SilcoTek® was built on the belief that people come first. Our technical experts have the tools and abilities to bring tailor-made coating solutions to life. We take pride in providing a fast, high-quality service experience that will make you smile.
