HYDAK’s high-performance capabilities are a result of using a bi-laminar coating platform, which is used to covalently bond the coating to the substrate material. HYDAK’s basecoat is used to “normalize” the substrate material and to prepare the surface for a chemical bonding to the lubricious topcoat. This cross-linked chemistry is what enables HYDAK to remain durable and lubricious through the entire procedure. Flexibility for All Your Coating Needs Biocoat’s hydrophilic coatings are custom engineered to meet your design parameters. As the only hydrophilic coating provider to offer industry-leading performance using both UV and thermal heat curing systems, we can test to find the solution that maximizes the effectiveness your device. Or we can work with your existing coating systems to support your next-generation product.
