Siliconization & Lubrication
NuSil™ lubricious coatings provide a durable and long-lasting thin silicone layer to hypodermic or suture needles, syringe barrels, cutting edges and other medical instruments.
We have a variety of options for lubricious coatings. Our specialty dispersions offer a virtually non-migrating coating while our fluids provide a high degree of lubrication. Our dimethyl fluids are used for lubricating thermoplastic parts and our fluoro fluids are used to lubricate silicone parts. A blend of our dispersions and fluids can be created to increase lubricity.
