A non-volatile lubricious coating composition is provided for use with
medical devices, such as hypodermic needles, catheters, and the like. The
coating composition includes a first siloxane polymer having a very low
viscosity less than about 50 centistokes, a second siloxane polymer
having a high viscosity greater than about 1,000 centistokes, a reactive
silicone polymer which is capable of crosslinking upon exposure to
radiation, such as a UV curable silicone acrylate, and a photoinitiator
to accelerate cross-linking of the reactive silicone polymer. The coating
composition may further include an aminofunctional siloxane polymer to
promote adhesion to metal surfaces when used with needles. The coating
composition provides flowability without the need for any volatile
organic solvent, and is capable of curing to provide adhesion and
lubricity.
