Medthin™ 04 TiON
The latest addition to the Medthin™ coating portfolio
Medthin™ 04 was developed to inhibit bacterial colonization and growth. The Medthin™ 04 coating combines antimicrobial properties with high wear resistance, and chemical stability. This makes Medthin™ 04 an ideal coating to mitigate the spread of microbes on medical instruments as well as for applications around hospital use.
The coating´s antimicrobial properties and biocompatibility were successfully tested according to ISO 22196 and ISO 10993 (parts -5, -10, -11), respectively. The coating can be deposited at temperatures ranging between 70 ºC and 300 ºC, which allows for a variety of materials to be coated.
