Aztec

Aztec is a precision plastisol coating and molding manufacturer specializing in medical instrument protection and industrial coating solutions. The company operates ISO 9001:2015 certified facilities and provides comprehensive dip coating, dip molding, and fluidized bed powder coating services. Primary medical applications include tip protector caps and guards for surgical instruments during handling and sterile processing. The company manufactures a broad range of plastic-coated products including caps, grips, sleeves, plugs, thread protectors, dock caps, and custom coatings with finish thicknesses ranging from 0.007" to 0.250". Manufacturing capabilities include dual-wall double-dip technology for added protection and ergonomic appeal, custom color formulations, and both decorative and functional finishes (matte to glossy). Aztec supports production runs from prototype to 100,000+ units. Secondary operations include pad printing, cutting, punching, slitting, packaging, and labeling. The company maintains an in-house CNC machine shop and engineering services for tooling and prototype development. Materials are formulated to provide thermal insulation, impact resistance, electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, sound deadening, wear resistance, vibration dampening, and UV resistance. While the website emphasizes industrial applications (hand tools, pliers, lawn and garden equipment, playground decking, marine applications), the company explicitly markets medical instrument tip protectors and guards to healthcare OEMs and processors requiring sterile-compatible protective solutions.
