Medical equipment & pharmaceuticals industry
Resilient and hygienic plastics
Plastic instead of aluminium and stainless steel
In the case of components in the medical equipment & pharmaceuticals industry, maximum precision and resilience is required alongside antibacterial characteristics – and this with the greatest individuality and flexibility.
We support our customers in these industries too with the selection of the correct material and a design that suits the application. The use of suitable plastic instead of expensive materials like aluminium and stainless steel opens up completely new opportunities to many customers. The components developed and produced by us are used both in complex packaging machines and in equipment manufacturing.
Which plastic can withstand high temperatures?
Plastics are often autoclaved or sterilised in medical equipment.
To do so, the thermoplastics must withstand temperatures of up to 134°C. Many of our technical plastics fulfil this requirement. The graphic at the side shows a selection of our plastics, which have a very high upper operating temperature.
