Learn more about material compatibility to minimize disinfectant-related failures. Chemically resistant polymers formulated to withstand exposure to harsh chemicals and hospital-grade disinfectants Understand the material compatibility with common disinfectants of various materials used in healthcare applications

Give your silicone products a boost of color and maintain chemical standards with these specialty color dispersions These colorants are highly compatible with polyester systems, reacting to become part of your final cured product.

Traditional vulcanized rubber products require application of adhesives to bond to the closure, and this adhesive bond has a greater potential for failure than the chemical bond formed between a TPE and  polymer substrate. The adhesive is also an additional component of the container system that must be evaluated for compatibility before use.
