Pharmaceutical Non-Stick

Compliance with pharmaceutical regulations is paramountwithin this particular field of expertise. Therefore, when PTFE

Applied Coatings were approached by one of the leading,American soft gel capsule producers to provide a solution to a

particular "sticky" problem, a solution was to be found with a Chemours TM Teflon® product. The evaluation of the technical

issues also noted that the process was related to large volume production, whereby processing plant was in operation seven days a week with full day shifts in operation.

Upon the completion of trials held at the customer's premises the applied coating secured its place within the process cycle of the product. However, this was not the end of the story.
It was clear that from technical data received by the customer's Far East division, greater success was being achieved at theirother plants.
PTFE Applied Coatings revisited the manufacturing process again and enhanced both our in-house coating process controls and the application methods.

Such changes exceeded the performance of the customer's

Far Eastern division and set a new benchmark regarding

production rates for the customer.
