APPLICATION BULLETIN
Resilience™ HC for Medical Device Housings
Offering Improved Resistance to Hospital Disinfectants
EFFECT ON POLYMER HOUSINGS
FOR MEDICAL DEVICES
Unfortunately, the increased disinfection
practices among healthcare providers have
another effect.
Rigid polymers typically used
to make housings for medical devices are
failing to resist these chemicals.
These medical devices could benefit from
the excellent chemical resistance found with
Resilience™ HC Rigid Molding Materials
