Plastics are a preferred material for IVD devices and kit components due to their inherent properties, customizability, and lightweight nature. Find out how part design can reduce stress in molded plastic parts and improve ESCR in your products

Additionally, plastic prefilled syringes can be color-coded for easy identification and customized to meet specific opacities in polypropylene (PP) resin, while laser marking additives can help create precise, solvent-free markings.  Formulated with pre-tested raw materials, this range of additives helps enhance the performance and functionality of plastics used in medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging and mitigate the risk of non-compliance.

Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic Plastic Waste

In each comparison, polyketone thermoplastics offer product engineers and designers a new tool in the product development toolbox for engineering plastics. A noticeable difference here is impact properties, which are improved for nylons since water plasticizes nylon and makes them more impact resistant.
