Nonwoven fabrics used in surgery are often required to be water-repellent to act as a barrier and avoid contamination, while hydrophobicity for nonwovens used in filtration helps increase the service life of filters.

This advanced material provides cleanliness by avoiding cross-linking agents used in curing vulcanized rubber. Apart from manufacturing optimization, Versaflex HC helped Finetool to avoid coring—the tendency for a material to produce tiny fragments when penetrated by a needle—with 6mm IV infusion spikes and needles 16 gauge and smaller, even after multiple uses.

Because an LGF’s advantage comes from its longer length, it is important to avoid breaking the fiber during processing. Use an extruder feed throat that is 2 feet 6 inches long or longer to avoid bridging, and use general purpose metering screws (not mixing screws) with deep flights. Also, avoid allowing metallic filler to sit in the barrel at high temperatures for long periods of time—this could degrade the base resin.
