- Medical Features
Features • Excellent bonding to many thermoplastics • Easy to color • Excellent surface appearance • Antistatic compounds available • Soſt touch compounds • Availability of transparent grades • 100% recyclable Other Features Elastron medical TPE compounds are tested according to USP '88' for their in vivo biocompatibility and ISO 10993-5, USP '87' for their in vitro cytotoxicity. Tested compounds all have USP Class VI approvals. Elastron medical TPE compounds also meet requirements of European Pharmacopeia monographs 3.2.8 sterile single-use plastic syringes and 3.2.9 rubber closures for containers for aqueous parenteral preparations for powders and for freeze-dried powders. Elastron medical TPE compounds are sterilizable with gamma irradiation, ethylene oxide (EtO) and steam.
- Medical Applications
Elastron medical TPE compounds are tested according to USP '88' for their in vivo biocompatibility and ISO 10993-5, USP '87' for their in vitro cytotoxicity. • Syringe tips • Infusion bottle caps • Clogs (Antistatic and steam sterilizible for medical applications) • Sterilizible for medical applications
- Advantages
Service temperature -40˚C to 140˚C; Wide hardness range (30 ShA- 65 ShD); Lower density (Density changes between 0,89 and 1,05 g/cm³); Design flexibility; Good resistance to acids and bases as well as oils (ex: IRM 903 , IRM 901); UV and ozone resistance; Recyclable; Easy processing with shorter cycle time; Provides quite higher saving on the processing cost (less scrap); Low flex fatigue; Flame retardant grades available; Low compression set; Weathering resistance
