EFD® Targets
Medical Applications with New Aseptic Spray Valve
Compatibility with a Wide Range of Fluids, Combined with Unique
Aseptic Design, Makes New Product Ideal for Medical Coating Applications
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (Business Wire EON) June 2, 2008 --
EFD, Inc., a subsidiary of Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq: NDSN),
introduces the new 784S-SS aseptic spray valve for dispensing precise,
consistent amounts of stent coatings, saline solutions, silicone oils
and many other fluids used in medical and pharmaceutical production
processes.
According to a recent report, the medical coatings market is expected to
exceed $5 billion by 2010, making controlled, efficient application of
these materials more important than ever.
The new 784S-SS valve is precision machined from 316L stainless steel
for excellent compatibility with a wide range of low- to
medium-viscosity fluids. In addition, it features a unique aseptic
design with a fluid flow path that is free of any entrapment areas—a
critical consideration in sterile and aseptic fluid applications.
The 784S-SS valve incorporates EFD’s proven
Low Volume Low Pressure (LVLP) precision spray technology, which reduces
production costs through fast, controlled fluid application without
waste or overspray. Instead of a standard spray nozzle, fluid is routed
through a ¼” long
disposable dispensing tip with a small (0.013” –
0.004”) internal diameter.
Depending on tip diameter, fluid viscosity and distance between the
substrate and tip, the valve is capable of producing accurate,
consistent spray patterns between 0.2 and 1.6 inches wide. Benefits in
precision coating processes include greater process control, faster
throughput, fewer rejects and lower production costs.
EFD dispensing systems are available through their worldwide network
operating in over 30 countries. For more information, contact EFD at
