Using a method adapted from ASTM D543 for ESCR (environmental stress cracking resistance), results versus alternative FR materials demonstrate superior mechanical and aesthetic property retention, and prevention of cracks and crazing after exposure to leading healthcare disinfectants* such as Virex® Tb, CaviCide™, Vesphene® IIse and Super Sani-Cloth®¹. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses FOR MEDIA USE ONLY: To download a high-resolution image, please click here: FOR MEDIA USE ONLY

The use of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) is becoming increasingly important in the quest for sustainable packaging. For example, anthranilamide (ATA)-based acetaldehyde (AA) scavengers, commonly used in PET, can deposit on the molds during injection molding. Being ATA-free, it also avoids the formation of primary aromatic amines (PAAs), making it safe for use in closed-loop recycling systems.

Materials and their impact on patient safety Increased use of Quality by Design (QbD) processes means that more consideration needs to be given to materials used and their impact on patient safety. Fingerprinting and routine batch testing of the raw materials used in MEVOPUR and REMAFIN-EP help detect changes and implement countermeasures. Declarations based on pre-testing of the ingredients we use to standards typically required for medical and diagnostic devices (biological evaluations ISO10993, USP , for class VI devices); and for pharmaceutical packaging and drug-contacting materials (biological evaluation USP, EP chapter and requirements USP and ICHQ3D extractable metals).

This TPE provided a lower durometer than AES for enhanced vibration damping combined with durability for demanding use conditions. Currently, the company is producing 800,000 housings annually using the specialty TPE material. Adding to the overall value of the solution, the TPE yields significantly less scrap than the previously used AES material.
