Thermoplastics: Trilliant™ HC high performance formulations deliver excellent chemical resistance and durability for medical device enclosures and components. Overmolded thermoplastic elastomers: Versaflex™ HC solutions provide excellent chemical resistance to alcohol, bleach and peroxide based antiseptics, and bonds to chemically resistant substrate resins for superior adhesion and durability across a wide range of applications. Polymer sheet: Royalite™ fire-rated ABS sheet helps medical device OEMs meet stringent flame rating requirements while creating aesthetically appealing and easily machined and finished thermoformed housings and components.

To obtain information regarding the viscosity of an individual grade, refer to the Product Technical Data Sheet. Thermoplastic materials that have different properties in the flow direction versus the cross-flow direction (90° perpendicular to the flow direction) are characterized as "anisotropic" materials. For shrinkage values for specific grades, please refer to the product technical data sheet.
