Fluoropolymer plastics
(TeflonŽ, PTFE, FEP, PFA) are prized for their high performance properties including a high degree of lubricity (slipperiness). This property allows them to excel in demanding applications such as endoscopes, guiding catheters, and other applications where friction is a concern.
However, the lubricity of these plastics also makes them difficult to bond to using conventional methods and adhesives. Chemical etching of the surface is required to effect an acceptable bond. Zeus has pioneered the development of etched tubing and, through a proprietary process, has developed a wide range of etching capabilities, with unsurpassed contact angle measurements.
