Curtiss-Wright Surface Technologies, Everlube® Coating Products have partnered with BioCote® to expand their fluoropolymer coating product range to create Fluregiene 200™: an antimicrobial coating that is ideally suited for many surfaces and environments.

Based on existing Everlube® coating technology, the new Fluregiene 200™ is a unique fluoropolymer coating that offers low friction, easy-clean properties combined with superb chemical and abrasion resistance. With a view to improving hygiene standards, Everlube® Coatings have integrated BioCote® antimicrobial technology to protect the coating from microbes such as bacteria, mould and fungi. Benefits of applying antimicrobial technology into the Fluregiene 200™ include:

Anti-fouling

• Low COF Surface coating (0.08 – 0.2 static)
• Corrosion resistance and excellent chemical resistance
• Excellent chip and abrasion resistance
• Reduces and prevents build-up of contaminates
• Excellent flexibility
• Dirt and debris less likely to attach to the surface

Microbial & bacteria growth inhibitor

• Using patented BioCote® antimicrobial technology against microbial growth
• Inhibits and reduces microbial growth on protected coating
• Protects treated surfaces against bad odours, staining and material degradation

Easy clean and reduced cleaning intervals

• Provides continual microbial reduction on coating
• High PTFE content allows easy wipe down and cleaning
• Provides more hygienic and cleanable surface than brushed or finished steels

Applicable to a wide range of parts and components such as door handles, elevator buttons, airport seating and gym equipment, the Fluregiene 200™ will be highly beneficial for these surfaces. BioCote® also has real-life data to support the application of this antimicrobial technology in environments such as health care, transport, education, public areas and much more.
