FAQs
We apply temperature-cured abrasive coatings to a wide range of healthcare-grade plastics and components, including exfoliation pads, hygiene rollers, and medical contact pads. Each coating is tailored to the specific substrate and performance requirements of the product.
Yes. All coatings are applied in a cleanroom environment under strict process controls to prevent contamination. Our coatings are designed to maintain integrity under regular disinfection and sterilisation routines common in clinical and hygiene settings.
We offer a range of grit profiles — from ultra-fine for skin contact and personal care, to medium and coarse grades for medical or hygiene devices that require higher traction or cleaning action.
Our temperature-cured systems form a molecular bond with the substrate, ensuring exceptional adhesion and long-term durability. They retain texture and performance even after repeated cleaning with standard disinfectants and detergents.
Absolutely. We work collaboratively with clients to define the ideal combination of resin type, grit size, colour, and finish — ensuring the coating performs precisely to its intended healthcare or hygiene function.
Yes. All Porcher coatings are manufactured under ISO 9001:2015-accredited quality management systems, approved by Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance. We follow industry best practice for materials used in hygiene and medical environments.
Porcher coatings are engineered specifically for hygienic environments. The surface chemistry resists bacterial growth and chemical degradation, while the controlled grit structure provides consistent performance without shedding or wear.
Simply wash with a mild hard-surface cleaner or disinfectant using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid overly aggressive chemicals or abrasives that could compromise the resin bond. With proper care, the coating maintains performance for many years.
Each batch can be tested for adhesion, and surface consistency to ensure conformity with customer requirements
Yes. We actively collaborate with clients and research partners to prototype new coated solutions for emerging healthcare technologies. Our in-house R&D team provides sampling, testing, and scaling support from concept to production.
What Our Clients Are Saying
