GlideTech™ Formulations
GlideTech™ Formulations deliver exceptional coefficient of friction (CoF) reduction without the use of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in intricate catheter applications, such as those for neurological and vascular procedures. They also support evolving compliance standards by providing reliable, medical-grade alternatives to traditional options such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
These innovative, non-PFAS compounds offer single-pellet convenience that eliminate the need for secondary coating processes or additional additives, helping to streamline manufacturing. They are available in multiple standard base resins and can be tailored for unique device requirements. Engineered for performance and production efficiency, GlideTech formulations are compatible with standard sterilization methods while maintaining low leachables and extractables.
