Expansion of the portfolio for medical technology: New material solutions based on PA/ASA and PC/PBT
With the addition of two newly developed PA/ASA and PC/PBT compounds, ROMIRA is expanding its portfolio with high-performance materials specifically designed for challenging medical technology applications. Both compounds have been engineered for use in applications where excellent mechanical properties, high-quality surfaces and superior resistance to e.g. disinfectants are required.
PA/ASA: high dimensional stability combined with improved chemical resistance
The newly developed 15% glass-fiber-reinforced PA/ASA compound offers high stiffness and excellent dimensional stability. Compared with conventional PA-based systems, its reduced moisture absorption contributes to improved dimensional accuracy, particularly under changing environmental conditions. It has a halogen-free and PFAS-free flame-retardant formulation. With a UL 94 V-0 rating at 1.5 mm wall thickness, the compound is suitable for use in safety-relevant applications.
PC/PBT: enhanced processability and consistently high part quality
ROMIRA has also specifically modified its PC/PBT compound to further improve processing performance. The development focused on enhanced flow properties, improved mechanical performance and optimized processability. At the same time, color stability was improved, supporting greater process reliability and consistently high part quality in injection molding.
Both new materials offer a balanced property profile for the demanding requirements of medical technology:
• excellent surface quality
• very good chemical resistance, particularly against cleaning agents and disinfectants
• excellent mechanical properties
• good processability and stable processing behavior, even with long flow paths and extended residence times
• halogen-free free flame-retardant performance according to UL 94 V-0 at 1.5 mm
• good UV resistance
• high heat deflection temperature
• customer-specificpre-coloring available
• easy material conversion without new tooling
