Dicronite® Dry Lubricant Coating for Medical & Pharmaceutical Applications
Precision dry lubrication for components and production equipment.
Controlled movement matters in medical mechanisms and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Friction between contacting surfaces can affect actuation, assembly, and equipment operation.
Dicronite® Southwest provides tungsten disulfide (WS₂) dry lubricant coating services. Work with our team to evaluate your component, operating conditions, and processing requirements.
Medical Device Component Applications
For medical components, coating selection begins with the intended use and the surfaces requiring treatment.
Discuss friction-related challenges in moving mechanisms, surgical instrument components, and insertion devices. Include details about mating materials, dimensional requirements, and any potential patient contact.
Device-specific testing and qualification remain essential to establishing suitability for the finished application.

Sticking and inconsistent movement can disrupt sorting, filling, and packaging operations. Identify the equipment interface creating the problem and share the conditions under which it occurs.
Our team can review your component drawings, existing lubrication methods, and coating requirements to evaluate whether Dicronite® is appropriate.
Tooling for Precision Molded Components
For tooling used to manufacture drug delivery components and other precision molded parts, provide the material, geometry, and surfaces requiring treatment.
Explain whether your goal involves tooling movement, release, or another friction-related production challenge.
Explore Coating ServicesDefine Your Application Requirements
Medical and pharmaceutical projects require a clear understanding of the component’s use and processing environment.
Include:
- Component material and surface finish
- Coating areas and masking instructions
- Mating surfaces and dimensional requirements
- Cleaning and sterilization methods
- Potential patient, drug, or product contact
- Required testing and qualification documentation
Ask about available coating test documentation relevant to your project. Biocompatibility and sterilization suitability must be evaluated against the intended use and actual processing conditions.
Selective Coating & Custom Masking
Clearly identify surfaces to be coated and areas that must remain uncoated. Ask about custom masking and in-house tooling design for project-specific processing requirements.
Request a Medical or Pharmaceutical Coating Quote
Send your drawings, component material, quantity, required coating specification, and requested turnaround. Include a brief description of the application and the performance challenge you want to address.
