Medical Application Materials
Designed for Medical Applications
- Catheters & medical tubing
- Single- and multi-lumen components
- Radiopaque medical devices
- Specialty flexible medical components
Engineered for High-Performance Medical Applications
Medical devices require materials that combine flexibility, mechanical reliability, chemical stability and consistent processing performance. PolyCraft develops aliphatic TPU materials specifically for demanding medical applications, with polymer chemistry, hardness and formulation adjusted according to the device design, manufacturing process and end-use requirements.
Our development approach allows properties such as flexibility, kink resistance, transparency, radiopacity, hydrolytic stability, chemical resistance and processing behavior to be balanced within a single material platform.
Aliphatic TPU materials engineered for demanding medical device applications requiring excellent flexibility, kink resistance, mechanical reliability, chemical stability and consistent processing performance.
Malzeme Platformları
Polyether-Based Aliphatic TPU
Designed for medical applications requiring excellent flexibility, low-temperature performance, kink resistance and hydrolytic stability. The material platform can be tailored for catheter and tubing applications where softness, elastic recovery and reliable processing are important.
Polycarbonate-Based Aliphatic TPU
Developed for demanding medical applications requiring enhanced chemical resistance, oxidative stability, hydrolytic durability and long-term mechanical performance. Well suited for applications where consistent performance under repeated sterilization, fluid contact and extended service conditions is required.
Tailored Performance
Medical applications require a careful balance of flexibility, mechanical reliability, chemical stability and processing performance. PolyCraft formulations can be tailored around the specific requirements of the device design, tubing geometry, manufacturing process and end-use conditions.
- Flexibility & Softness — Tunable mechanical response for soft and flexible medical components
- Kink Resistance — Designed to maintain lumen integrity during bending and handling
- Mechanical Strength — Balanced tensile strength, elongation and toughness
- Radiopacity — Formulations can be tailored with radiopaque fillers for X-ray visibility, with 20–40% BaSO4 loading levels possible depending on the required radiopacity and mechanical performance.
- Hydrolytic Stability — Designed for reliable performance in humid and fluid-contact environments
- Chemical Resistance — Resistance tailored around expected medical fluids and cleaning conditions
- Customizable Hardness — Adjustable hardness for different catheter, tubing and component requirements (75A to 60D)
- Customizable Processing Behavior — Melt flow and thermal behavior tailored for extrusion and component manufacturing
- Long-Term Performance — Material chemistry selected according to the required durability and service conditions
