SABIC’s Specialties Business - Innovations with ULTEM™, SILTEM™, and EXTEM™ resins’ Post

They couldn’t resist talking about chemical resistance! One customer challenge we heard over and over again at NPE in May and MD&M West in February was about finding #medicaldevice materials with improved chemical resistance. What are SABIC’s solutions? ☑ LNP™ ELCRES™ CRX copolymer resins ☑ ULTEM™ HU resins These high-performing resins can provide robust resistance to harsh #healthcare disinfectants to help extend device life. If you missed us at either show, please reach out to the Healthcare team via the link in the comments. #plastics #SABIC #ChemistryThatMatters #SABICSpecialties #sustainable

Missed our webinar on the Top 3 Factors Impacting the Useful Life of #medicaldevices? Good news! It’s now available on demand here: https://lnkd.in/d737VhsW 👏 Our experts explained how specialty thermoplastics can prevent or reduce degradation caused by repeated sterilizations. Our ULTEM™ HU resins are compatible with many different sterilization methods and multiple cycles. That’s especially important now that the EPA ruling limits EtO sterilization emissions. Check out the webinar recording and reach out to us to talk more. #plastics #SABIC #ChemistryThatMatters #plasticsengineering #plasticsindustry #chemicalindustry #SABICSpecialties #sustainable

"Bacteria Retention Claims for Sterilizing Filters and Why They Differ Among Manufacturers" Critical Process Filtration has opted for the 7-log reduction per cubic centimeter standard across all our sterilizing filters to ensure consistency in retention claims for our range of products.

Do you know Products in COC/COP? Innovation Serving Global Health! 🔹 In our continuous commitment to enhance the safety and efficacy of medical practices, cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) and cyclic olefin polymer (COP) syringes or products stand out as milestones in the healthcare industry. 🔹 These polymers offer a unique blend of transparency, chemical resistance, and biocompatibility. 🔹 From a production standpoint, the versatility of COC/COP allows the creation of components with millimetric precision, reducing the risk of contamination and enhancing accuracy. 🔹 T.S.T. Plastics Technologies, specializing in the molding process of these materials leads the way in delivering cutting-edge services, playing a role in advancing global healthcare standards. #injectionmolding #toolmaking #moldmaking #medicaldevicemanufacturing #healthcareinnovations

Defend against ESC with SABIC Specialties’ solutions. Environmental stress cracking (ESC) resulting from repeated exposure to harsh #healthcare #disinfectants can affect a medical device’s operation, aesthetics and more. Think about the implications: ✅ Malfunctions/repairs ✅ Premature failure/replacement ✅ Loss of use ✅ Warranty claims ✅ Damage to your brand At MD&M West 2024, SABIC will feature ULTEM™ HU resin series and LNP™ ELCRES™ CRX copolymer resins, which deliver exceptional resistance to aggressive chemicals like hydrogen peroxide and quaternary ammonium compounds. They could help you protect against ESC and extend the useful life of your devices. 🚶🏻♂️To learn more about these solutions, stop by the SABIC booth (#3287) to speak with our material experts. 👉🏻 Meanwhile, click the link in the comments to download additional performance data on our chemical-resistant materials. #plastics #SABIC #ChemistryThatMatters #plasticsengineering #plasticsindustry #chemicalindustry #sustainable #SABICSpecialties

A clear trend at MD&M West. It became apparent very quickly that many attendees were looking for internal lubrication alternatives to PTFE, a type of PFAS, and that #SABIC could help. Not only did our exhibit receive heavy traffic throughout the show, but our presentation on wear and friction solutions without intentionally added #PFAS was so full it was standing room only. Our expanded LNP™ LUBRILOY™ portfolio of specialty compounds uses a patented olefinic lubrication technology to deliver excellent wear and friction performance without PTFE. ℹ If you missed us at the show, please reach out to the Healthcare team today to learn more about this material solution, and download our new flyer.

Puzzled about PTFE alternatives? Materials lubricated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), are a hot topic because of proposed regulations severely restricting or banning PFAS usage. However, excellent alternatives to PTFE-lubricated materials for potential use in #medicaldevices are available right now from SABIC. And the list is growing. Our expanding portfolio of internally lubricated LNP™ LUBRILOY™ compounds deliver excellent wear and friction performance without intentionally adding PTFE. At MD&M West 2024, Ed Williams, senior product manager, LNP Compounds, will give a presentation titled “Solving thermoplastic wear and friction problems in medical devices without intentionally added PFAS.” Join Ed on February 6 at 12:30 p.m. PST in the MD&M West Design Alley. We also invite you visit our booth (3287) for discussions with SABIC Specialties’ material experts. #plastics #SABIC #ChemistryThatMatters #plasticsengineering #plasticsindustry #chemicalindustry #sustainable #SABICSpecialties
