Ensinger has chosen Solvay's Radel PPSU as the high-performance polymer for the production of sensor bodies thanks to its high mechanical, chemical and thermal stability. It can absorb massive impact without cracking or breaking, even after prolonged and repeated exposure to high temperatures, chemical disinfectants, hot water and steam. Radel PPSU resins are also compatible with all commercial sterilization methods.

“Producing the sensor bodies from medical-grade plastic, glass and metal requires highly precise manufacturing technology. We have all of this expertise and all of these resources in-house”, pointed out Dr. Roland Reber, Managing Director at Ensinger. “But we are dependent on good suppliers like Solvay.”

Solvay, Ensinger and optek are providing medical components to boost vaccine production.

More than 180 million people have become infected with COVID-19, which has already mutated multiple times. Effective vaccines have been developed in record time, but billions of vaccine doses are needed to defeat the pandemic. In order to expand production, sensor components are urgently required. Sensor bodies – like those produced for optek by Ensinger – enable quality control in the biopharmaceutical process.

“Our value-added services enhance our high-performance polymers and support biopharma processing trends. Radel PPSU demonstrates how critically important material technologies are to this fast-changing and demanding sector. We take a highly proactive approach to material testing to support regulatory compliance needs,” said Jesal Chopra Vice President - Healthcare, Environment, Consumer, & Construction, Materials Segment at Solvay. 

“The component with the measuring interfaces to the medium is complex and difficult to clean. Instead of flow-through assemblies of stainless steel, increased use is therefore being made of what are known as Single Use Cells (S.U.C.), which are disposed of after use. They minimize contamination risks, downtimes and costs associated with chemical cleaning, sterilisation and validation of the plants,” noted Jürgen Danulat, Managing Director of optek.

Solvay also offers other selection of high-purity, specialty polymers for pharmaceutical and bioprocessing technologies including Udel PSU, Veradel HC polyethersulfone (PESU), Radel polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), Ixef polyarylamide (PARA), KetaSpire polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and AvaSpire polyaryletherketone (PAEK) resins.
