Hydromer expands into manufacturing and supply of automated high-speed coating, UV curing equipment

Hydromer, Inc., provider of hydrophilic, thromboresistant, and antimicrobial coating technologies for more than 40 years, announced its expansion into the manufacturing and global supply of automated high-speed coating and UV curing equipment. By integrating proprietary coatings with high-performance machinery, Hydromer now provides a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for medical device manufacturers worldwide.

This integrated platform allows manufacturers to correlate process parameters directly with performance outcomes, supporting compliance with ISO 13485 and FDA Quality System Regulations (21 CFR Part 820).

The company’s expanded equipment platform includes:

• Hydrophilic coating equipment: delivered uniform coating application and UV curing with minimal manual intervention.
• Automated high-throughput coating system: a modular system comprised of load, dip coating and UV curing workstations. The fully automated configuration is designed to be operated by a single operator to increase production rates and reduce reliance on manual labor.
