ELASTO UK Mediprene™ 500520M TPE, Medical Applications, 52A Hardness

All Mediprene™ compounds are designed and manufactured for use in medical and pharmaceutical applications. In both medical and food contact areas, high application demands are found, such as:Low extractableNo migration of plasticizerCleanlinessGood vapor and gas transmission propertiesSoftness, flexibility and clarityChemical inertnessEase of sterilization for repeated useMediprene™ compounds can be processed using conventional thermoplastic equipment for extrusion, injection molding, etc. The compounds are not hygroscopic, and thus do not need any pre-drying. Assembling Mediprene™ to mainly all used thermoplastics is feasible.All Mediprene™ grades are fully recyclable and where possible reprocessable during manufacturing and when burned do not emit toxic fumes.Mediprene™ grades exhibit excellent resistance to many fluids used in the healthcare environment.Information from Vita Thermoplastic Polymers (VTP).Vita Thermoplastic Polymers was aquired by HEXPOL and is now ELASTO
