▪ Description
DurathaneTM series products are medical grade aliphatic polycarbonate-based thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) loaded with 20% Barium Sulfate as radiopacifier. They exhibit excellent radiopacity and can be color-matched while retaining traits of clear grade ALC including the superior biocompatibility and mechanical properties as well as excellent resistance to oxidation, chemical, and hydrolysis. Due to the chemical structure, the aliphatic nature of ALC-B20 series products makes them more lightstable and bio-stable than the aromatic TPUs. These products can be injection molded and extruded.
▪ Biocompatibility
DurathaneTM ALC-B20 pellets passed the Hemolysis test (ISO 10993-4), MEM Elution test (ISO 10993-5), Intracutaneous Irritation test (ISO 10993-10：2010 & 10993-23：2021), Dermal Sensitization test (ISO 10993-10：2010, 2021).
