This initial review is to determine if there is a fit between your project’s unique specifications and our HYDAK coatings. If both parties agree on moving forward, we start the feasibility testing process.
During the feasibility testing process, we ask for approximately 10 samples for us to perform a high-level coating test. Once the coating is complete, we test the sample material for lubricity and durability, and then perform a dye test to ensure the coating adhered as expected. In conjunction with the testing performance results, we send some coated materials for you to test at your own facility.
Collaboration is vital during this stage, as we are working together to develop the coating that best matches your device. Planning for validation, regulatory submission and for large scale coating application via either our Contract Coating Services unit or fulfillment at your production facility.

Our best-in-class service offering is specifically designed to assist in the testing and maximization of hydrophilic coatings on intravenous medical devices. Our custom, lubricious, abrasion resistant and biocompatible hydrophilic coatings can be applied to a wide range of polymeric and metallic substrates using either a thermal or UV curing technology.
Our Application Engineering Team facilitates an initial review to determine fit between your project’s unique specifications and our HYDAK hydrophilic coatings. Once confirmed, our team quickly moves to the Feasibility stage.
An Application Engineer is assigned to your program, who then initiates the feasibility testing phase. A small number of samples will be requested to be used for initial high-level coating trials. The samples are evaluated for coating readiness (cleanliness), cleaned as needed, and then coated with our initial Hydak coating selection and process. The coated samples are then tested for lubricity, durability and coverage. In conjunction with the testing performance results, coated samples are returned to the customer for a parallel assessment. Speed is critical during all phases of product development, and our resources are positioned to meet your lead-time needs with a standard short lead-time and expedite options as quick as 24 hours.
Collaboration is vital during this stage, as we are working together to finalize the coating selection and application process that best suites the device’s performance requirements. Planning for validation, regulatory submission (as required), transfer to production, and scaling to match expected market demand, also occurs during this critical phase.
