PTFE Coated Hypotubes

Applied Plastics offers a PTFE coating service for stainless steel and nitinol hypodermic tubing used in medical devices and catheter manufacturing tooling, without altering their physical properties. We can service unlimited OD sizes.

Our coating specialists can apply coatings to all variations of stainless steel and nitinol hypotube including spiral, skived, flared, crimped, ground, and slotted types. We will even source the hypodermic tubing and maintain an inventory and release schedule.

Our industry-leading, proprietary PTFE Natural® coating process applies a precise coating onto stainless steel and nitinol that provides optimum lubricity without flaking, cracking, or altering the tubing’s physical properties. Featuring the high slip resistance required for medical device manufacturing, these hypotubes are chemically inert, bio-compatible, and operate up to 550°F.
