How to selecting the correct Medical grade TPE

May 16, 2014 Healthcare & Medical, Materials, Uncategorized

There are a number of TPEs that have passed cytotoxicity tests (ISO 10993-5) and biocompatibility tests (USP Class VI). The materials are latex free, reducing the risk of allergic reactions. They are available in a range of shore hardness’s from shore A to 65 shore D. Transparent grades are available, as well as grades suitable for two-shot moulding to engineering thermoplastics. We are currently using these in a number of products we are developing. If you have a project where the use of TPE would be advantageous, then please feel free to contact us for further advice.
