Provided is a method for the application of a polymer coating to an
internal surface of a container, which method comprises: (a) heating the
inside surface of the container to be coated; (b) spraying an aqueous
suspension of a fluorine-containing polymer onto the surface to form a
coating on the surface; and (c) sintering the coating; wherein the
container comprises a base and one or more side walls defining a
container opening and is suitable for storing a medicament, and wherein
the spraying step is conducted with a first spraying means configured to
produce an axial spray pattern that is substantially conical about an
axis perpendicular to the container base.
