HAP/TCP abrasives. What is it about? Medicoat has developed an resorbable calcium phosphate based abrasive (HAP/TCP) with dense and hard grain size. Applications Blasting of dental implants, cleaning of 3D printed parts. Properties Complies with standards: ASTM F1185 and F1088 Composition : Pure biphasic HA 85% / TCP 15% Particle size : 250-560µm, 160-250µm, 160-400µm ; 75-160µm ; 25-75µm Hard and dense particles suitable for abrasive blasting: typical micro hardness : 500Hv0,05 Advantages 100% biocompatible media forming an optimal surface morphology Excellent solubility of the grains with gentle chemical treatment: ensuring high surface cleanliness without the risk of contamination by aluminium oxide Achievable roughness range for pure Ti and Ti alloy substrates: Ra > 2.0µm RBM is manufactured locally in France, allowing Medicoat to customise the properties of the powder, such as grain size distribution, composition, etc., to meet your blasted surface requirements.

Medicoat AG supplies pure titanium powders for coating of medical components by atmospheric and vacuum thermal plasma spray processes. Quality standards We adjust the particle size distributions of the diverse powder products we supply and we remove any iron contaminations which sometimes remain in the powder from previous process steps. All our powder processes are certified according to the ISO 13485 quality standard. In this way we provide powders that are best suited for thermal plasma coating processes of medical components. In addition, we can also provide customized particle size distributions of titanium powders. Quality control Our methods and devices for powder characterization enable a continuous complete quality control of our products. Specific customer requirements can be translated in measurable powder properties and can thus be monitored for quality assurance.

Hydroxyapatite is the major component, and an essential ingredient, of normal bone and teeth. The osseointegration of an implant can be accelerated by a hydroxyapatite coating. The ingrowth process time of the HA-coated prosthesis is identical to the healing process of a bone fracture. Medicoat offers a wide range of sintered and crushed hydroxyapatite powders adapted for thermal spray technology with irregular grains as well as agglomerated powders with spherical grains. Application Atmospheric Plasma Spraying (APS), Vacuum Plasma Spraying (VPS), Suspension Plasma Spraying (SPS)
