Chesapeake Bay Coatings
introduces Devran 224HS
epoxy coating for industrial
applications
Baltimore, Md.-based coatings manufacturer Chesapeake Bay Coating has recently introduced several new high
performance steel coating products to
their product catalogue. One of the latest
steel coating solutions that the company
has added to their in-house inventory is
the Devran 224HS high solids epoxy coating product. This solution has been designed as a coating for structural steel,
piping, tanks and equipment in chemical,
fertilizer and power plants among other
applications.
Devran 224HS is a high performance
multi-purpose, two-component chemi-
cally-cured epoxy semi-glass coating de-
signed for use on properly prepared steel
and masonry surfaces. The company said
many of its clients have found the prod-
uct to be the ideal solution for coatings
within correctional facilities, schools and
commercial areas and restaurant kitchens
where high performance is mandated by
federal legislation.
Biocoat adds three successors
to its HydroSleek hydrophilic
coatings for medical devices
Biocoat, Inc., maker of lubricious Hydak
hydrophilic coatings introduced three
new hydrophilic coatings for medical de-
vices to its lineup. HydroSleek2 is the
new successor to the original Hy-
droSleek lubricious coating, with im-
proved processing and biocom-
patibility. The HydroSleek Kit is
another variation on the Hy-
droSleek coating, which allows
the product to be stored and transported
under a wider array of conditions. The
Hydak T-040 Kit is a remake of Hydak
L-110, also allowing for wider availabil-
ity to Asian and European markets. All
of these coatings are based on high mo-
lecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA).
This technology has applications among
a range of fields including ophthalmol-
ogy, urology, cardiology, endoscopy, and
neurovascular. HydroSleek coatings have
overcome the trade off between lubricity
and durability seen in cross-linked coat-
ings. Additionally, HydroSleek involves
a heat-cure process so both ID and OD
may be coated without the concerns sur-
rounding UV curing. These new prod-
ucts will act as Biocoat’s front line
solution to medical device firms seeking
to reduce surface friction for their de-
vices the company said. CW
