QUADRANT LANCE LE PROTEUS LSG HS PP, UN POLYPROPYLENE STERILISABLE POUR DES APPLICATIONS MEDICALES
Les pièces médicales réalisées avec le polypropylène stabilisé chaleur, Proteus LSG HS PP de Quadrant, résistent à des cycles répétés de stérilisation en autoclave et à la vapeur. Cela est rendu possible grâce à la température de fléchissement (HDT) de plus de 149 °C (> 300 °F) sous une charge de 0,455 MPa (66 psi). Le matériau, très résistant aux agents de nettoyage, désinfectants et divers solvants, peut ainsi être employé pour la production de plateaux chirurgicaux, de chariots et composants d’instruments utilisés dans diverses applications de l’industrie des sciences de la vie. Pourtant, de telles pièces sont souvent difficiles à mouler par injection, en raison de leur complexité et de la viscosité élevée de la résine.
