In the dynamic sector of supplies and components for medical technology, material choice is crucial to ensure safety, performance, and economic efficiency. At Franplast, we produce our range of Chemiton Med® TPE-S thermoplastic elastomers, an advanced solution designed to overcome the limits of silicone, PVC, and vulcanized rubbers. This compound combines the safety and certifications required by the industry with a remarkable advantage in terms of costs and processes.
Medical TPE-S: Compliance and safety
- TPE-S are biocompatible and certified USP Class VI and ISO 10993.
- They are sterilizable by autoclave, EtO, Beta and Gamma Rays, and DMF registered.
- They are free from phthalates and vulcanizing agents, ideal for human health.
Savings and optimization of the production process with TPE-S
- Lower material and process costs than silicone.
- Shorter molding cycles and energy savings.
- Easy co-molding onto PP, PE, and rigid polymers.
H2: TPE-S for sustainable medical products
