A soft, colorable, specialty, non-hygroscopic thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) in the thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) family. It is designed for use in medical and healthcare applications. This grade of Santoprene TPV is shear-dependent and can be processed on conventional thermoplastics equipment for injection molding. It is polyolefin based and recyclable within the manufacturing stream.
Key Features
• Based on a series of biocompatibility tests conducted on representative grades, this grade should meet the USP (U.S. Pharmacopeia) Class VI requirements for plastics.
• Additionally some ISO 10993 tests have been conducted.
• Each medical grade undergoes annual testing for cytotoxicity and heavy metals.
• Drug master file maintained with the FDA.
