Rigid polymers typically used to make housings for medical devices are failing to resist these chemicals.
PolyOne conducted a comparative study of polymer resistance to three common, harsh disinfectant chemistries.
When this improved chemical resistance is combined with excellent melt flow, flame resistance, UV resistance, and appearance, it’s easy to see why Resilience™ HC Rigid Molding Materials are becoming the materials of choice for rigid medical device housings.
