PLASMA POLYMER COMPOSITE –
APTICOTE 810
Apticote 810 is the next generation of plasma polymer coatings. This is a range of thermal sprays that have been expertly combined with polymers to provide non-stick coatings that are tougher, harder and with better release properties than conventional polymer coatings. Additionally, our plasma polymer engineers are able to tailor the formulation to the needs of your particular application.
By combining our thermal spraying and polymer techniques in a graded structure, from the substrate through to the working surface, Apticote 810 achieves a robust substrate bond, a tough, high load-carrying capacity coating and the optimum non-stick properties.
We can tailor the Apticote 810 formulation to your specific needs, using our extensive polymer coating range and our wide variety of thermally sprayed materials. Depending on your requirements – non-stick, low friction, wear resistance, corrosion protection, temperature resistance, USDA/FDA compliance, or combinations of those – Poeton engineers can produce the right solution.
Whichever solution is chosen, by using a plasma polymer composite you can be sure to benefit from longer life, reduced down time and improved quality.

PLASMA POLYMER COMPOSITE
Apticote 810
Non-stick to a wide range of products
Plasma polymer composite coatings provide up to 10x longer non-stick life than given by conventional polymer coatings.
Wear resistant
Achieve 5x wear and scratch resistance by using thermal spray polymer coatings instead of conventional polymer coatings.
Chemical resistant
The polymer coating within Apticote 810 can be modified and adapted to suit the chemical resistance requirements.
High lubricity and low friction
The polymer elements ensure a friction coefficient as low as 0.11
High temperature capability
Benefit from a wide operating temperature range from -200°C to +300°C
Tough, with high load-carrying capacity
Apticote 810 provides 5x the load-carrying capacity of conventional polymer coatings
Superb adhesion
The thermal spray application technique has been specifically developed for the Apticote 810 range of coatings to yield a surface texture which maximises the polymer adhesion.
USDA/FDA Compliant
We can select or design an appropriate Apticote 810 in which the polymer and undercoat comply with the regulations for contact with food or medical products.
- FOOD MOULDS
Providing a mould tool life increase for sticky abrasives products that conventional coatings couldn’t. - CONFECTIONERY PROCESSING
Extending the life of extrusion die tools for use with products so sticky it peels of conventional non-stick coatings. - MEDICAL GAUZE
Reducing friction and wear on abrasive and sticky medical wear that previously cut through stainless steel. - PACKAGING
Preventing build-up of deposits on packaging chutes caused by adhesion against an aluminium arm.
General Magnaplate’s Plasmadize Coating
Part of the Apticote 810 range is offered in partnership with General Magnaplate and is also known as Plasmadize. Poeton are the only UK licensees of Magnaplate’s Plasmadize coatings. The Poeton – General Magnaplate relationship stretches back over 30 years in which time treatment solutions and expertise have been shared in order to provide the complete range of surface coatings to customers on both sides of the Atlantic.
Apticote 810 plasma polymer composite uses a specially formulated graded structure that provides the exceptional bond strength of the coating. The plasma layer provides a robust bond to the substrate material whilst also providing the perfect key for the polymer.
