OUR WORLD
For nearly a century, functional chrome plating has been the coating of choice for designers and engineers due to its extreme versatility in addressing performance challenges. Extending wear life, increased lubricity, ease of cleaning, chemical/corrosion resistance, increasing surface hardness, and maintaining surface finish requirements are just a few of the challenges encountered every day in industry. Many coatings or metal finishing processes serve to protect against one or two of these challenges. The thin deposit chrome coating applied by ME-92 takes on all challenges with unparalleled performance and aesthetics. In 1992, ME-92 perfected the art of applying a uniform biocompatible pure metallic chromium surface to stainless steel medical instruments. Over the course of three decades and continual testing, ME-92® chrome coatings have been proven to perform on nearly every base metal type, including aluminum (ALCOAT®). Today, due to the need for clean biocompatible coatings in other industries, ME-92 Operations now provides services for clean room applications, food grade applications, robotics, and injection molding to name a few.
At ME-92 Operations, we understand that our product is only as good as the process and people who make it possible. The culture of a company dictates the quality and experience a customer will receive.
EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT
Robert DeQuattro, Quality Manager
“At ME-92 Operations, it is not just about plating parts. Relationships and trust matter. When you choose to work with ME-92 Operations, we consider it a partnership. From the moment we receive your parts until the product is packaged and shipped, we treat it as our own. It starts with ensuring your product has arrived safely with the proper documentation. Each job is engineered with multiple review stages to ensure customer requirements are clearly understood and communicated. Parts are inspected to identify any pre-existing visual or dimensional attributes which may adversely impact the chrome application. Highly skilled employees are trained to follow the process developed to achieve absolute product compliance. Documented policies, practices, and procedures help to mitigate processing risks with the intent of yielding a chrome coated, bio-compatible part for increased wear, enhanced lubricity, and ease of cleaning. Let our culture be the solution to your challenges.”
Biocompatible Chromium Coating for Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metal Surfaces
The ME-92® Coating offers the Industry’s Most Versatile Lineup of Biocompatible Chromium Coating Options for ferrous and non-ferrous metals in three finish options:
THREE FINISH OPTIONS:
- ME-92 Satin
- ME-92 Non Reflective
- ME-92 Platinum
ME-92® SATIN
(shown on left applied to a base of stainless steel) Applied to tens of millions of devices, ME-92® Satin is our standard-bearer finish. As with all our finishes, it is bonded directly to the base material, is highly ductile and will not separate from the base material when twisted, flexed or impacted. Designed to enhance the overall performance of surgical devices; galling and fretting elimination, improved wear resistance, increased surface hardness, arrests corrosion from sterilization and laser marking, non-stick easy to clean surface, biocompatible and looks new after hundreds of uses. Unlike other coatings, removal and reapplication of our ME-92® Satin coating will not affect the base material or surface finish.
Learn MoreME-92® NON REFLECTIVE
(shown on left applied to a base of stainless steel) Designed specifically for use in Laparoscopic and Endoscopic surgery procedures, ME-92® Non-Reflective coating reduces high-intensity light reflection and glare while providing the same reliable, biocompatible features of our full product line. Laser marking and repeated sterilization protocols will not degrade the color. Unlike other coatings, removal and reapplication of our ME-92® NR coating will not affect the base material or surface finish.
Learn MoreME-92® PLATINUM
(shown on left applied to a base of stainless steel) A highly polished surface deserves a high quality coating. From maintaining cutting edges on polished drills and reamers to sealing and protecting a polished instrument with a tough, durable finish our ME-92® Platinum finish takes polished stainless steel to the next level. Our Platinum finish provides a long-lasting, clean, new appearance for premier devices and instruments. Unlike other coatings, removal and reapplication of our ME-92® Platinum coating will not affect the base material or surface finish.
