SPECIALTY ENGINEERED MATERIALS FOR HEALTHCARE PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE Careful consideration must be given to materials used for medical devices and their impact on patient safety. Common applications include medical device overmolds, medical and biopharma tubing, and gaskets and stoppers. MATERIAL DESCRIPTION BASE RESIN Trilliant™ HC2020 Copolyester Trilliant™ HC8910/8920 Polyketone/ABS blend Trilliant™ HC2120 Tritan Trilliant™ HC3120 PC Trilliant™ HC5210 PP Trilliant™ HC6010 PA6 Trilliant™ HC6610 PA66 Trilliant™ GRV-NP-110-W PA12 TRILLIANT™ HC THERMOPLASTICS • Chemically resistant replacement for FR PC/ABS, FR PC/PET & FR COPE, providing UL 94 Yellow Card V-0 flame rating at 1.5 mm, V-1 at 0.75 mm thicknesses for a broad color spectrum • Outperforms PC/ABS, PC/PET and COPE in resistance to common disinfectants • Retains tensile strength after 72-hour exposure to common hospital disinfectants, and shows better long-term chemical resistance as compared to PC blends and COPE • Exhibits good impact and temperature resistance • Available in natural grades, standard medical colors, or custom pre-colored products • Medical device housings • MRI, X-ray, CT scanner components • Surgical instruments such as staplers, dissectors, scissors • Auto-injector pen TRILLIANT™ HC ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE FORMULATIONS • Consistent conductivity ensures repeatable part performance and minimizes failures related to inconsistent electrical conductivity • High flow and easy processing facilitate filling of thin wall parts and multiple cavity tools, which enable faster cycle times and lower per-unit part costs • Superior durability reduces breakage and resultant scrap related costs • Less tendency to flash results in improved appearance and less fluid retention in or on the tip, thus driving greater accuracy and less potential for cross-contamination • High strength produces parts with greater stiffness and warp resistance, again minimizing scrap-related costs • Conductive pipette tips TEST TEMS SPECIFIC GRAVITY MELT FLOW RATE (230OC, 2.16KG) TENSILE FLEXURAL FLEXURAL MODULUS IMPACT STRENGTH NOTCHED, IZOD SURFACE RESISTIVITY Method ASTM D-792 ASTM D-1238 ASTM D-638 ASTM D-790 ASTM D-790 ASTM D-256 ASTM D-257 Unit -- g/10min MPa MPa MPa J/m Ohms/sq.
