CALIBRE™ MEGARAD™ 2080-15 Polycarbonate resin provides end-users of radiation sterilized medical devices a color closer to the water-clear look of the natural resin. When exposed to high energy radiation (gamma or electron beam), CALIBRE MEGARAD 2080-15 resin can reduce the color shift by 50% compared to general purpose polycarbonate resins. CALIBRE 2080-15 resin has undergone biocompatibility testing based on ISO 10993 (Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices) and is suitable for use in approved medical applications.
Main Characteristics:
Stabilized for higher energy radiation
Tested under ISO 10993
Transparent
Contains no mold release
Applications:
Medical applications
