PARAMUS, NJ – June 24, 2022 – Curtiss-Wright’s Surface Technologies Division, a leading global provider of highly engineered surface treatments and analytical services, today announces the launch of a new antimicrobial Everlube® coating product, Fluregiene 200™.

Curtiss-Wright Surface Technologies has partnered with BioCote® to expand their fluoropolymer coating product range to create Fluregiene 200™, an antimicrobial coating that is ideally suited for many surfaces and environments.

Based on existing Everlube® coating technology, the new Fluregiene 200™ is a unique fluoropolymer coating that offers low friction, easy-clean properties combined with superb chemical and abrasion resistance. With a view to improving hygiene standards, Curtiss-Wright Surface Technologies has integrated BioCote® antimicrobial technology to protect the coating from microbes such as bacteria, mold and fungi. Benefits of applying antimicrobial technology into the Fluregiene 200™ include:

Anti-fouling

• Low COF Surface coating (0.08 – 0.2 static)
• Corrosion resistance and excellent chemical resistance
• Excellent chip and abrasion resistance
• Reduces and prevents build-up of contaminates
• Excellent flexibility
• Dirt and debris less likely to attach to the surface

Microbial & bacteria growth inhibitor

• Using patented BioCote® antimicrobial technology against microbial growth
• Inhibits and reduces microbial growth on protected coating
• Protects treated surfaces against bad odors, staining and material degradation

Easy clean and reduced cleaning intervals

Provides continual microbial reduction on coating
High PTFE content allows easy wipe down and cleaning
Provides more hygienic and cleanable surface than brushed or finished steels

Applicable to a wide range of applications such as door handles, elevator buttons, airport seating and gym equipment, the Fluregiene 200™ will be highly beneficial for these surfaces. BioCote® also has data to support the application of this antimicrobial technology in environments such as health care, transport, education, public areas and much more.
