SABIC will showcase specialty engineered thermoplastic materials that address pressing issues in medical device industry at MD&M West 2024 on February 6-8 in Anaheim, California, US.

The showcased materials address issues including withstanding increasingly harsh healthcare disinfectants, providing effective lubrication without the use of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and finding alternatives to EtO sterilization in the face of upcoming US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations.

SABIC will feature material solutions for critical medical devices at MD&M West 2024.

Frequent application of highly aggressive disinfectants can cause environmental stress cracking (ESC) in plastic medical device housings and components.

SABIC’s ULTEM HU resin series and LNP ELCRES CRX copolymer resins deliver outstanding chemical resistance, which mitigate or prevent ESC degradation and extend the life of devices.

SABIC’s internally lubricated LNP LUBRILOY compounds with patented olefinic additive provide an effective alternative to materials lubricated with PTFE, a type of PFAS. They can help solve restrictions or bans on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

Versatile thermoplastics, such as ULTEM HU resins, have increasing demand due to anticipated EPA restrictions on EtO sterilization emissions.

These resins are compatible with most common sterilization methods, including steam autoclave and vapor hydrogen peroxide (VHP) sterilization, and gamma/E-beam radiation, and can withstand repeated sterilization cycles.

SABIC will also feature materials that add value to connected devices, such as ULTEM resins, LNP FARADEX compounds and LNP ELCRES DMX copolymers, and structural applications, including ULTEM resins and reinforced LNP THERMOCOMP compounds, and advanced sustainability with bio-circular or chemically upcycled content.
