COATED
Some parts require surface treatment before they'll accept a coating.Doors, frames, extrusions/profiles and medical devices are examples of such products.The coatings themselves may be used to provide protection from harsh environments, serve as finishes that produce a more decorative appearence or meet certain industrial standards. The medical endustry, for example, requires certain plastic devices to support adhesion of antimicrobial/antibiotic coatings that reduce patient exposure to bacteria.
