Innovative surface coating for hospital body scanner magnets

A leading supplier of super conducting body scanning magnets required a coating to release resin potted super conductive filament wire from their mould tools. This application required not only surface release but excellent abrasion and wear resistance from the epoxy resin system used. The Armourcote® 4500 Series coating, the result of three years’ research and development, provided the solution.
