Medical-grade acrylic resists alcohol & lipids. (Keeping Up With Materials).A new injection moldable acrylic multi-polymer from Cyro Industries, Rockaway, N.J., provides superior resistance to alcohols, isopropanol isopropanol, isopropyl alcohol, or 2-propanol (ī'səprō`pənōl, ī'səprō`pĭl), (CH3)2CHOH, a colorless liquid that is miscible with water. , and lipids present in blood products. This acrylic can compete in applications previously limited to lipid-resistant PC and other non-acrylic plastics. Compared with Cyrolite Med, Cyro's first alcohol-resistant acrylic, Cyrolite Med 2 boasts even better alcohol and lipid resistance, plus improved clarity, impact, ductility, and optics after gamma sterilization sterilization Any surgical procedure intended to end fertility permanently (see contraception). Such operations remove or interrupt the anatomical pathways through which the cells involved in fertilization travel (see reproductive system). . Cyrolite Med 2 has a low density of 1.08 g/cc and offers excellent processability for molding complex and thin-walled parts, Cyro claims. It is amenable to solvent bonding or ultrasonic welding and can be sterilized ster·il·ize tr.v. ster·il·ized, ster·il·iz·ing, ster·il·iz·es 1.
