Hard coating
What is a hard coating?
A hard coating is a layer applied to a material to improve its durability and resistance. Our hard coating is often used to protect products from wear or moisture. A hard coating is less commonly used for comfort products, such as cushions, because these need to remain flexible and comfortable. However, a hard coating can contribute to a longer lifespan and reusability.
Additionally, a hard coating offers extra protection against chemical and mechanical wear, such as scratches, impacts, or pressure. This makes it ideal for products that are used intensively or need to be cleaned frequently. In environments like hospitals or industrial settings, a hard coating helps make materials more resistant to disinfectants and moisture, enabling them to last longer without loss of quality. Although hard coatings are less suitable for soft and flexible products, they can add functionality, durability, and hygiene in other medical and technical applications.

Benefits of a hard coating
Hard coatings are increasingly used in medical environments due to their resistance to wear. Good hygiene is essential in hospitals and healthcare institutions, where products must be disinfected regularly. Our hard coating helps achieve this.
Hygiene benefits of a hard coating
A hard coating offers several hygiene advantages. Thanks to its smooth, non-porous surface, bacteria and viruses have a harder time attaching to the object. This reduces the risk of contamination. Moreover, a hard coating is resistant to alcohol-based disinfectants, which means you can clean coated products with alcohol without causing wear. This contributes to longer product life and more sustainable use in hospitals.
A hard coating ensures longer product life
In addition to hygiene benefits, a hard coating significantly improves the durability and lifespan of medical equipment. Products in hospitals and care facilities are used intensively, leading to wear and damage. By applying a hard coating, the underlying material is protected from stress such as friction, impacts, and pressure. This extends the life of products and reduces the need for frequent replacements.
Another major advantage of improved durability is long-term cost savings. Hospitals and care institutions often operate under tight budgets, and purchasing new medical equipment can be expensive. By coating products with our hard coating, they wear out less quickly and can be used more often. A hard coating truly extends the lifespan of your products.
