TPS Coating on PEEK
Technology
This TPS coating is applied in a vacuum and achieves a high level of porosity combined with good and adequate coating adhesion. This technique makes coating bioinert plastics with a biocompatible and bone attractive surface possible.

Range of Application
- Orthopaedic implants and implant components made from PEEK
Advantages of the Procedure
- Surface enlargement without thermal microstructural changes to the implant material
- Improved fatigue strength of the implants compared with sintering techniques
- Increased purity and adhesive strength compared with other methods (e.g. APS Atmospheric Plasma Spray)
Properties
Properties of the PEEK material will not be modified by the TPS coating.
- Color: gray
- Coating thickness: 50-250 µm
- Roughness Ra: 20-40 µm
- Porosity: 20-60 %
- Adhesion strength: ≥ 22 MPa
- Biocompatible
