To stay ahead of the regulatory curve, the manufacturer's material technology team needed to find a replacement for lead.
Working with Reiter-HG Geiger, a sophisticated injection molding processor specializing in demanding applications, the OEM team began their search for a sustainable material to replace lead, one that would effectively shield X-rays up to 140 keV while offering additional manufacturing benefits.
The material, a highly filled polymer based on Avient’s Gravi-Tech™ technology, is specifically formulated to address health care industry needs and regulations.
