Oxford Performance Materials and SINTX Technologies Collaborate to Develop High Performance Coating Solution
June 16 2021 - 9:00AM
Oxford Performance Materials, Inc. (OPM; www.oxfordpm.com), an
industry leader in advanced polymer science, 3D printed orthopedic
devices, and coating technologies, and SINTX Technologies, Inc.
(www.sintx.com) (NASDAQ: SINT), an original equipment manufacturer
(OEM) of silicon nitride ceramic for medical and non-medical
applications, announced today a collaboration to develop a
poly-ether-ketone-ketone (PEKK) silicon nitride composite based on
OPM’s OXPEKK®-SC solution casting technology.
The collaboration will combine the patented
technologies of OPM and SINTX to develop new coatings designed to
optimize the biological response of medical implants toward
increasing the quality of tissue response and discouraging implant
infections. Applied to biomedical implants, these high-performance
coating solutions would be expected to promote faster recovery,
better outcomes for surgeons and reduced patient complications.
“We are pleased to enter into this collaboration
with SINTX,” said Scott DeFelice, CEO of OPM. “Our companies share
a focus on nano-scale materials science and surface technologies,
and I am confident that our combined know-how will be fruitful for
joint research, development, and new products.”
“We continue to seek new opportunities to bring
our silicon nitride technology into new products and markets,” said
Dr. Sonny Bal, CEO and President of SINTX Technologies. “OPM’s
market emphasis and coatings technology platform are well aligned
with SINTX’s technology. We look forward to developing new and
innovative products through this collaboration.”
