Common healthcare applications include medical tubing,
gaskets and stoppers, bags, bottles and films, grips, handles and medical devices.
VERSAFLEX™
HC MEDICAL
TUBING GRADES
• Improve extrusion
rates, achieve high
service temperature
performance or
increase clarity
in medical tubing
• Traditional and bio-
based formulations
specifically for
biopharmaceutical
tubing to meet the
needs for weldability
and minimize
extractables during
processing
VERSALLOY™
HC SERIES
• Obtain better flow in
long, thin paths and
lower shrink rates
versus typical TPVs
with our alloys
• Color easily and
obtain a smooth
tactile feel
VERSAFLEX™
HC GASKETS &
STOPPERS SERIES
• Achieve no coring,
good puncture and
resealability in static
stoppers
• Meet low COF
and low stiction
requirements in
dynamic seals
VERSAFLEX™
CL E SERIES
• Increase clarity and
flexibility in bags,
bottles and films
• Mitigate risk with
plasticizer-free
formulations for
film extrusion
• Deliver excellent
odor & O2 barrier
performance for
film extrusion
