An impressive achievement: water-based coating systems for the medical technology sector

In medical technology, surfaces are regarded as a crucial quality feature. They must be chemically resistant, mechanically robust, hygienically sound and, at the same time, visually appealing. Plastic housings and components of medical devices are treated daily with cleaning agents and disinfectants and must retain their function and appearance over the long term.

At the same time, sustainable, low-emission production processes are becoming increasingly important. Legal requirements and environmental targets demand a significant reduction in volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Manufacturers are therefore increasingly turning to water-based systems that combine high technical performance with environmental compatibility. To meet these requirements, WB Coatings has developed a tailored, practical coating system that ranges from primer to topcoat.
