Medical & Healthcare
Hygienic, reliable and certified raw materials for medical equipment manufacturing.
In medical applications material selection must be considered together with the sterilisation method. Steam (autoclave), gamma and ethylene oxide sterilisation affect materials differently; some polymers can yellow or become brittle after gamma exposure.
Transparency is critical in devices where fluid level must be visible. Biocompatibility and conformity with the relevant standards are preconditions for use in healthcare, so approval status must always be verified during grade selection.
