PhotoLink Technology
The technology underlying many of SurModics’ Advanced Hydrophilic coatings is our patented PhotoLink chemistry. SurModics’ PhotoLink technology, photochemical covalent coupling of the coating molecules, is a preferred approach to surface modification for many reasons, including both design and manufacturing process considerations.
Proven PhotoLink features:
- Can be tailored to meet varying geometries, thin wall construction, and specialty designs
- PhotoLink coatings can be applied to the broadest range of materials and substrates
- Uses no harsh chemicals and produces no hazardous byproducts
- Curing times are measured in seconds, so throughput is measured as “parts-per-minute" rather than "hours-per-part”
- High durability, integrity, and sustained quality
- Consistently superior cycle times AND performance
By eliminating the effort required to coordinate multiple coating methods, PhotoLink coatings represent the definitive answer to the diverse needs of today's device manufacturers.
