Acrylic-Based Multipolymer Compound

The company's Cyrolite Med acrylic-based multipolymer compound offers medical device manufacturers superior resistance to alcohol and lipids with improved ductility.

Developed for medical device applications requiring maximum chemical resistance, the compound is an easily processable, transparent, impact modified, acrylic-based multipolymer compound suitable for injection molding a variety of medical device applications.

Compared to lipid resistant polycarbonate, Cyrolite Med compound has better alcohol and lipid resistance, and demonstrates significantly greater alcohol resistance over other acrylic materials. Its excellent properties show no deterioration after sterilization at typical gamma or E-beam irradiation levels. This product can also be sterilized with ethylene oxide gas without adverse effects.

Excellent processability at low temperatures allows its use in thin-walled and difficult-to-mold parts in multicavities. Typical applications include filter housings, luers, IV connectors and accessories, spikes, cassettes, Y-sites, check valves, pumps, catheter adapters, and caps and funnels for blood filters.

This product can be processed in all types of injection molding presses and is readily adaptable to tooling designed for styrene, vinyl, ABS, and polycarbonate.
