GE Advanced Materials has introduced three biocompatible polycarbonate (PC) resins. Lexan HPX8R, Lexan HPX4, and Lexan HP1HF resins are said to offer the excellent strength, mechanical qualities and clarity similar to other products in the Lexan PC resin line.
The latest materials also mark improvements to flow and ductility, as
well as enhanced resistance to impact and autoclave sterilization. GE's
co-polymer technology also enables the new Lexan HPX resin grades to
offer self-lubricating performance.
Lexan HPX8R and HPX4 resins demonstrate particularly excellent mold release, as well as higher flow performance vs. traditional materials. Lexan HPX4 resin also offers an extra degree of low-temperature ductility, much improved hydrolytic stability, and superb impact strength.
Lexan HPX4 resin additionally offers resistance to repetitive washing and cleaning processes. Potential applications for Lexan HPX8R and HPX4 resins include surgical instrumentation, personal drug delivery devices, and monitoring equipment.
Lexan HP1HF resin joins the established line of tough and virtually unbreakable Lexan resin healthcare products that includes selections offering resistance to Gamma, EtO, and steam sterilization; lipids and other chemicals; and high heat. In addition to offering biocompatibility and FDA food contact compliance, Lexan HP1HF resin is said to provide superb processing capabilities, excellent flow (37MFI g/10 min.), and outstanding hydrostability. Its applications include drug delivery devices, monitoring equipment and fluid delivery components.
