▪ Description
Alithane™ ALP is medical grade aliphatic polyether-based thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Due to the chemical structure, aliphatic-type TPU is more light- stable and bio-stable than aromatic-type TPU. ALP TPU exhibits excellent biocompatibility, hydrolytic resistance, good mechanical properties and chemical resistance, and can be color-matched. It can be injection molded and extruded.
▪ Biocompatibility
Alithane™ ALP pellets passed the USP Class VI test, Hemolysis test (ISO 10993-4), MEM Elution (ISO 10993-5), Skin Irritation test (ISO 10993-10：2010 & 10993-23：2021), Dermal Sensitization test (ISO 10993-10：2010, 2021).
