DCHN to Attend Medical Design and Manufacturing, MD&M East Show in New York.
DCHN to demonstrate MICRALOX® – Micro-crystalline anodizing, the new performance coating standard in anodizing aluminum for medical component manufacturing by major manufacturers of medical equipment.
Woonsocket, RI (May 27, 2014) DCHN, LLC, will join its sister company, Precision Coating Company, Inc at the MD&M East Trade Show in New York, NY at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center from June 10th – June 12th, 2014. As an industry leader in technical aluminum anodizing, DCHN, LLC will demonstrate the exceptional chemical stability and corrosive resistance of MICRALOX, an innovative anodic coating for aluminum. DCHN will also provide information on their new bundling of coating services that include embedded printing and laser-marking services.
MICRALOX® is a patented aluminum oxide coating with a micro-crystalline barrier that revolutionizes aluminum anodizing. MICRALOX produces a long lasting, virtually indestructible surface that delivers dramatically superior chemical corrosion resistance and eliminates color fading due to super-heated steam and is an excellent alternative to stainless steel, plastic and other materials. David DiBiasio, Sales Manager for DCHN states that, “For medical instruments and ancillary equipment made from aluminum, the most significant trend is how to provide a protective coating to the aluminum to allow repeated washing and sterilization, without a detrimental impact to the finish and printing on the part. This is especially true when high pH detergents are being used or when Autoclave, STERRIS, and STERRAD sterilization methods are employed as these methods can strip, discolor, delaminate epoxy printing, and be the cause of other in-field failures. MICRALOX resolves many of these issues.” To learn more, download the MICRALOX report on “Fit for Purpose.”
All medical equipments need to be traceable and require some sort of marking for identification. DCHN can help meet the needs of medical device manufacturers with various embedded printing and laser-marking techniques.
