High and Low Friction Micro Surfaces with Ralph Hulseman of Hoowaki

Steve Maxson discuss solving challenging grip or slip problems by adding micro surfaces to components and devices with Ralph Hulseman, President and CTO of Hoowaki. Ralf hits on topics ranging from high grip, anti-migration technology for covered stents and balloons to low friction micro surfaces on medical tubing. Hoowaki conducts advanced research, development, engineering, and design of micro and nano surfaces to solve difficult friction and surface tension problems. They manufacture those micro surfaces onto mold, die or roll tooling so that our customers can use the tooling to make improved rubber and plastic products.For more information, visit www.hoowaki.com Host: Steve Maxson | Innovation & Business Development Manager | US ExtrudersGuest : Ralph Hulseman | President & CTO | HoowakiAnnouncer: Bill Kramer | President | US ExtrudersProducer/ Editor/ Original Music: Eric Adair | Marketing Manager | US Extruder For video episodes visit www.us-extruders.com/podcasts
