KRAIBURG TPE supports ostomy care accessories

KRAIBURG TPE offers material solutions that meet the requirements for safety, durability, biocompatibility, and user comfort in ostomy care accessories.

TPEs are ideal for ostomy bag.

Ostomy bag users often experience daily discomfort, alert to leaks and skin irritation, and constantly aware of the bag’s presence, especially in social or active situations.

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), featuring softness, biocompatibility, and ability to form secure seals, are well-suited to improve the experience of ostomy bag users without compromising performance.

KRAIBURG TPE’s material solutions exhibit exceptional adhesion to polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE). This good bonding capability makes them ideal for products that require leak-resistant seals, flexibility, and long-term durability. At the same time, they help simplify assembly by eliminating the need for additional adhesives.

TPE compounds also offer high elasticity, and a low compression set. These properties make them suitable for ostomy bag seals, which need to maintain their shape under pressure to prevent leaks. The material’s flexibility allows it to move with the body, helping to provide a secure and comfortable fit for daily use.

In addition, TPE compounds are sterilizable using autoclaving at 121°C or ethylene oxide, meeting the stringent hygiene protocols required for medical devices. They comply with ISO 10993-5, GB/T 16886.5 (cytotoxicity), Regulation (EU) No 10/2011, US FDA CFR 21, and GB 4806.7-2023, and contain no animal-derived ingredients.
