Thin film Coatings with very high-quality standards
For coatings in the food and medical industry, it is important that no harmful substances from the coatings enter the food or the body. But beyond that, these coatings still have to be high-quality: durable, wear-resistant, low-friction, and more. Ionbond has multiple coatings that meet these criteria, which means they have been able to achieve FDA approval.
9 coatings that meet the criteria for FDA approval
What criteria do coatings have to meet to be FDA approved? In short, the coating should be non-toxic, materials from the coating shouldn’t migrate out of the coating, the coating should be durable, and the coating shouldn’t influence the quality of the food product. Ionbond has 9 coatings that have been proven to meet these criteria. You’ll be able to read more about them in the full whitepaper, and see some examples of the coatings in use.
