GENERAL DESCRIPTION TECHTRON ® HPV LSG stock shapes are produced from a proprietary reinforced and internally lubricated polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) compound. This material exhibits a unique combination of properties including wear resistance, load bearing capability and dimensional stability when exposed to chemicals and high temperature environments. The composition of the PPS-based compound used for production of the Techtron ® HPV LSG stock shapes complies with the regulations that apply in the Member States of the European Union (Directive 2002/72/EC, as amended) and in the United States of America (FDA) for plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.
TECHTRON HPV LSG stock shapes have also been successfully type tested for their compliance with both United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and ISO 10993-1 guideline requirements for Biocompatibility Testing of Materials, and they come with full traceability from resin to stock shape. These features, added to a very good sterilizability by means of steam, dry heat, ethylene oxide, plasma and gamma irradiation, make Techtron HPV LSG stock shapes very suitable for applications in the medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology markets.
Techtron HPV LSG is available in sheet and rod forms and is medium blue in color.
NOTE:
Quadrant's TECHTRON HPV LSG Life Science Grade should not be used for applications involving medical devices that are intended to remain implanted in the human body continuously for a period exceeding 24 hours, or are intended to remain in contact with internal human tissue or bodily fluids for more than 24 hours, or as critical components of medical devices that are essential to the continuation of human life.
