Abstract
The present invention relates to a coating system, in particular to a coating system for articles where plastic materials slide against flexible rubber materials. The coating system is a silicone oil based coating having a viscosity of at least 200,000 centistokes, i.e. a high viscosity coating. The coating comprises in a preferred embodiment a silicone oil based block or graft copolymer, or segmented copolymer. Further the invention relates to a process of producing a component of an article coated as described above, comprising adding the coating material to the component material prior to molding and subsequently molding the component from the mixture, or molding the component from the component material and subsequently applying the coating material to the at least one surface of the component, as well as an article coated with a silicone oil based coating as defined above. Such an article is preferably a medical article, such as a container or an injection cylinder and a stopper. The coatings according to the present invention are especially suited to use for permanently coating internal surfaces of containers equipped with stoppers for storage and administration of liquid protein preparations. The coatings providing low friction between the two components, such as a container wall and a rubber stopper, result in high-precision dosing. The described coatings are particularly useful for coating containers for storage and administration of liquid protein solutions, such as insulin formulations.
