Medical TPEs.


This brochure comes complete with free samples and presents designers of medical products with innovative material options as alternatives to standard elastomers in the medical industry. Versaflex CL2200 thermoplastic elastomer alloys, with water clarity and enhanced heat resistance, are said to be offered as an ideal material alternative to PVC PVC: see polyvinyl chloride.

 alloys are also said to offer good bite and tear resistance, and the ability to withstand sterilization makes them ideally suited for many medical applications, according to the literature. Actual TPE samples included with the literature enable designers to see their water clarity and experience excellent tear propagation characteristics, plus learn how these TPE alloys are excellent for overmolding polypropylene, according to the company. Further, the Versaflex CL2200 TPE alloys are FDA FDA
