This new unreinforced ultra-performance polymer (SRP) offers unprecedented strength and stiffness, even metal-like mechanical properties, combined with other key performance attributes needed for demanding medical applications.
Compared to most PA6.6, the Akulon® PA6 provides similar stiffness up to 185°C combined with higher toughness at low temperatures to avoid failures & cracks.
The Akulon® PA6 is also showing a good heat ageing resistance (part durability), and cometitive cycle times needed for castor wheels.
Styrolux® is ideal for medical devices - either transparent or opaque.
In applications such as vacuum cleaner dust attraction is a critical issue. New generation antistatic and transparent materials can be used in these markets and can avoid additional cost & complexity of a spray-on anti-static agent
In designing blood filters, the material ideally needs to exhibit the following combination of properties in order to stand up to the rigorous demands of the health care environment: Exceptional toughness and clarity, good resistance against...
Plastic materials are being used to an increasing extent in medical technology and diagnostics. Depending on the use, they must be resistant to caustic solutions and chemicals, extremely heat-resistant or sterilizable.
Polymer modifier for polyolefin nonwovens, allows nonwoven producers to use standard polypropylene spunbond grades or recycled granules from fiber scrap to design meltblown nonwovens with outstanding barrier and mechanical properties.
Thanks to its superior heat resistance and excellent toughness, High heat polycarbonate stands out as the perfect material. The superheated steam sterilization process can be repeated up to 10 times with the scalpels and the boxes being sterilized together
The transparent reusable filter has to be cleaned and sterilised after use. One of the key advantages is that Apec® is suitable for hot steam sterilisation in autoclaves at 134 °C, which is the preferred form of rapid sterilisation. Gamma ray and hot air sterilisation are also feasible with Apec®.
In medical equipments such as incubators, high level of safety and reliability in order to avoid risks is a decisive criterion in the selection of a plastic.
Inherent hydrophobic nature of polypropylene makes it unsuitable for some fiber/nonwoven applications, where properties like aqueous absorption and wettability are required. This problem can be solved by addition of hydrophilic internal additive.
The CORx compact heart-lung system is expected to have a considerable impact on cardiac surgery. The new device offers significant advantages over conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) systems...
To produce infusion sets satisfying the most stringent requirements, Makrolon® is the perfect material to use.
Light and unbreakable, Makrolon® stands out as the perfect choice for glass replacement for lenses.
