Tie Layer
Tie Layer
A thin thermoplastic tie layer (8μm) enhances adhesion between the outer jacket and inner liner to reduce delamination.
Samples available upon request.
Our Tie layer coating on PTFE Liner enhances adhesion between the outer jacket and inner liner to reduce delamination. Our continuous spool to spool process on the silver-plated copper-core mandrel realizes exceptional consistency with tighter tolerance that streamlines your catheter manufacturing through the entire catheter assembly process.
Outer Diameter Range Consistency
Our continuous spool-to-spool process realizes exceptional consistency.
