Solvay Specialty Polymers Ixef® GS-1022 Polyarylamide (PARA)  (Unverified Data**)

Ixef GS-1022 is a 50% glass-fiber reinforced grade of polyarylamide (PARA) available in several colors. Parts molded from these colored resins can withstand high-energy gamma radiation without significant change in appearance and physical properties. Ixef GS-1022 resins demonstrate no evidence of cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous reactivity or acute systemic toxicity, based on biocompatibility testing as defined by ISO 10993-1. This resin offers superior strength and stiffness combined with outstanding surface gloss and exceptional flow and is well suited for medical applications, such as single use surgical instruments and structural device housings, and applications in food service equipment. Colors available: - Brown: GS-1022 BN01 - Blue: GS-1022 BU01 - Green: GS-1022 GN01 - Grey: GS-1022 GY01 - Grey: GS-1022 GY02 - Grey: GS-1022 GY51 - White: GS-1022 WH01 - Black: 1022/9006Additional Information: Property values for individual batches will vary within specification limits. Values shown are typical of Ixef GS-1022/WH01 resin; other colorants may alter values. There will be a shift in color when comparing pre-gamma sterilization and postgamma sterilization colors. It is also expected that the colors will revert to some degree, back toward the as-molded color. Lighter colors may display the greatest variation.Injection Notes: Hot runners: 250° to 260°C (482° to 500°F)Data is presented for dry polymer.Information provided by Solvay Specialty Polymers.
