General Info

TECAPRO® MT is a white heat stabilized homopolymer polypropylene material specifically designed for stability in high-heat environments. This results in a product with exceptionally low residual stress, allowing for the fabrication of dimensionally stable parts with varying cross-sections. This characteristic reduces the tendency for parts to warp following repeated superheated steam sterilization. Additionally, TECAPRO MT’s low density makes it easy to machine into lightweight components often used in medical technology. The material has been thoroughly tested for biocompatibility according to ISO 10993, and TECAPRO MT white has also been tested according to USP Class VI.

TECAPRO® MT can withstand higher service temperatures with less water absorption than standard polypropylene. The enhanced properties of TecaPro ® MT make this material an excellent candidate for replacement of PBT, Acetal, PTFE, PPO and several other high-performance plastics. Recommended sterilization techniques include steam autoclaving and cold sterilization.

Key Properties

  • Autoclavable
  • Biocompatible
  • FDA Compliant
  • Good chemical resistance

  • Hydrolysis and superheated steam resistant
  • Low moisture absorption
  • Low Residual Stress for Improved Dimensionally Stable Parts with Varying Cross Sections

Limitations

  • Poor Resistance to Aromatic, Aliphatic and Chlorinated Solvents.

Applications

  • Autoclavable Medical Components
  • Surgical Trays, Caddies / Cases

Resin Trade Names

Manufacturer Trade Names

  • TECAPRO™

Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, film and custom profiles and machine parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the shape has their own product trade name. If your specification calls for a specific resin grade or manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your specification or suggest an equal. If you require a specific resin or brand it must be specified at the time of order.
