Surface Treatment
Plasma Etching
The Putnam Plastics plasma etching process improves the potential bond strength to the outer surface of plastic medical tubing components. The improved bond strength may be realized by pad printing, coextrusion, or adhesive bonding in final medical device assembly.
Hydrophilic Coating
To reduce the coefficient of friction on the outer surface of plastic medical tubing components, Putnam Plastics applies a biocompatible coating customized for the substrate polymer for optimal lubricity and durability.
