We offer a variety of coatings tailored for the medical industry, including PPA 571 ES, Talisman, Nylon, and Modified Polyester powders.

A key feature of these coatings is their availability in antimicrobial or anti-bacterial grades. These biostatic coatings inhibit the growth and spread of microorganisms, with Talisman 30 reducing MRSA levels by 99.99% thanks to its antimicrobial additive.

Beyond their antibacterial properties, most of these coatings also provide excellent adhesion, superior scuff and abrasion resistance, and low smoke, fume, and toxicity in the event of a fire.

Components exposed outdoors must endure harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures, UV radiation, salt-laden air, and acid rain.

Thermoplastic polymers are designed to meet these demands, outperforming traditional finishes like plating and galvanising, and are available in a variety of colors.
