TRILLIANT™ HC THERMOPLASTICS
• Chemically resistant replacement for FR PC/ABS,
FR PC/PET & FR COPE, providing UL 94 Yellow
Card V-0 flame rating at 1.5 mm, V-1 at 0.75 mm
thicknesses for a broad color spectrum
• Outperforms PC/ABS, PC/PET and COPE in
resistance to common disinfectants
• Retains tensile strength after 72-hour exposure
to common hospital disinfectants, and shows
better long-term chemical resistance as
compared to PC blends and COPE
• Exhibits good impact and temperature resistance
• Available in natural grades, standard medical
colors, or custom pre-colored products
Applications:
• Medical device housings
• MRI, X-ray, CT scanner components
• Surgical instruments such as staplers, dissectors,
scissors
• Auto-injector pen
TRILLIANT™ HC
ELECTRICALLY
CONDUCTIVE
FORMULATIONS
• Consistent conductivity ensures repeatable
part performance and minimizes failures
related to inconsistent electrical conductivity
• High flow and easy processing facilitate filling
of thin wall parts and multiple cavity tools,
which enable faster cycle times and lower
per-unit part costs
• Superior durability reduces breakage and
resultant scrap related costs
• Less tendency to flash results in improved
appearance and less fluid retention in or on
the tip, thus driving greater accuracy and less
potential for cross-contamination
• High strength produces parts with greater
stiffness and warp resistance, again
minimizing scrap-related costs
Applications:
• Conductive pipette tips
