Hygienic stainless steel for pharma and medical

The challenge

Sterile cleanability and repeatable quality

In pharmaceutical and medical applications, a smooth look is not enough. Surfaces must be demonstrably cleanable to sterile standards, with a roughness that is the same every time.

A roughness below 0.5 µm is often specified, and chemical residues from post-treatment are unwanted.

Frequently asked questions

Questions from pharma and medical

Which roughness can be achieved?

As a stand-alone treatment ViwateQ easily achieves below 0.8 µm. With additional steps, values below 0.5 µm are achievable, depending on the starting material.

Do you provide measurement reports?

Yes, depending on the project we provide detailed roughness and measurement reports for quality control and compliance.

Which certificates are available?

You can request our EHEDG, 3-A, TNO, ISO and Clusta certificates and add them directly to your specifications.
