Abstract: A method of producing a metering valve for use with a pressurised dispensing container for dispensing medicament from said container, the metering valve having a valve stem, a valve member, and outer and inner annular seals, the method comprising assembling the metering valve so that the valve stem is co-axially slidable within the valve member, the valve member and the valve stem define an annular metering chamber with a surface of the valve member forming an internal surface of the metering chamber which, in use, comes into contact with medicament, and the outer and inner annular seals are operative between respective outer and inner ends of the valve member and the valve stem to seal the annular metering chamber therebetween; and wherein the method further comprises the step of subjecting said surface of the valve member to a cold plasma polymerisation treatment of one or more monomers to bond to the surface a layer of a cold plasma polymerised fluorinated hydrocarbon.
