Recommended Coatings for Continuous Wire, Cable and Tubing
SSG offers coating options for continuous wire, cable and tubing that require low-friction performance, consistent coverage, and material compatibility. FluoroWire® PTFE coated wire is the primary choice for reel-to-reel wire applications, and antimicrobial coating technology may be added when device requirements call for additional surface protection.
Continuous Wire, Cable and Tubing Coating Services
SSG provides reel-to-reel continuous wire coating services for medical wire, cable, and tubing used in precision device applications. Our skilled team of coating professionals use our automated reel-to-reel coating process to coat your products with our FluoroWire® PTFE coating. We apply the coatings to the wires at .0001 – .0003 inches per side. Our automated production and quality testing ensures that you receive consistency throughout the length of the product. We take the necessary steps to do the job right, delivering exceptional quality, consistency, and performance.
Reel-to-Reel Medical Wire Coating Process
Reel-to-reel wire coating applies a consistent surface coating to continuous lengths of wire, cable, or tubing. SSG uses automated production systems and quality testing to support coating uniformity, thickness control, and repeatable performance across long medical device components.
