SilGlide®: A PFAS-Free, High-Performance Coating for Biomedical Applications

AMT designs and produces high-performance coatings such as SilGlide®, Carbond®, Fluorocarb®. These proprietary technologies improve lubricity, chemical resistance, biocompatibility, and moisture/hydrophobic characteristics — making materials safer, more durable, and more efficient for demanding environments.

 

SilGlide® stands out as an exceptionally dry, lubricious, and PFAS-free solution that is engineered specifically for biomedical substrates. With an ultra-thin layer of less than one micron, SilGlide® significantly enhances device performance while meeting stringent safety standards through its chemical resistance and biocompatibility.

Applied as a dry, low-friction surface, this coating is ideal for a wide range of medical devices, including implantable silicone cardiac rhythm management and neuromodulation leads, catheters, and many other demanding biomedical applications.

AMT has built a strong reputation for innovation in medical device coatings and membrane technologies, consistently delivering products that are both effective and cost-efficient—improving reliability and functionality in clinical use.

Coatings can be customized for your specific application and are suitable for materials such as silicone and polyurethanes, among others.
