Embodiments of the disclosure include lubricious coatings. In an embodiment the disclosure includes a lubricious coating for a medical device including first and second coated layers. The first coated layer is between the second coated layer and the device surface and includes a vinyl pyrrolidone polymer and a photo reactive group. The second coated layer is in direct contact with the first coated layer and is a top coating that includes an acrylic acid polymer. The second coated layer can optionally include photoreactive groups. The coating was found to have a very low number of particulates (e.g., 10 μm or greater) which is very desirable for in vivo use.

A receptacle for pharmaceutical packaging includes: an elongate barrel section; a side wall extending over the elongate barrel section, the side wall having an inner surface bordering an interior, the interior having a diameter; and a layer of a lubricant located on at least a part of the inner surface. A thickness of the layer of lubricant is graduated.

The passage of a container along a conveyor is lubricated by applying to the container or conveyor a mixture of a water-miscible silicone material and a water-miscible lubricant. The mixture can be applied in relatively low amounts, to provide thin, substantially non-dripping lubricating films. In contrast to dilute aqueous lubricants, the lubricants of the invention provide drier lubrication of the conveyors and containers, a cleaner conveyor line and reduced lubricant usage, thereby reducing waste, cleanup and disposal problems.

The present invention disclosed a lubricant system and methods of use. Said lubricant system comprises siloxane polymers with viscosity greater than 100 centistokes and cross-linking agents that can promote siloxane polymers curing rapidly in ambient conditions. The lubricant system comprises further hydroxy siloxane polymers, siloxane coupling agent, catalyst and volatile carrier solvents. The surfaces of medical devices are coated at least once, a solid lubrication film can be quickly formed, and the film has a very excellent lubricating performance and wide applications. The methods of use are simple, easy to implement and control, and is particularly suitable for rapid automatic production lines, and thus is of great economic value.
