Application of thermoplastic elastomer tpe pellets materials in the medical industry
no.1 TPE goggles
The goggles lens is made of PC material. The transparency of the PC material is very good. The ultra-high light transmittance can enhance the clarity of the field of view.
Performance advantages
Using TPE elastic frame, the curvature of the goggles can be designed according to the curvature of the face, which can be expanded and contracted according to the width of the face, without feeling the tightness and pressure. The part of the goggle that contacts the skin adds softness to the nose frame and temple The TPE elastomer cushion is non-slip during use and can increase long-term wearing comfort.
no.2 tpe pellets for tourniquet
TPE tourniquet material is a new environmentally friendly material with thermoplastic styrene butadiene rubber as the base material. The main components are SEBS, PP and white oil.
Performance advantages
The surface is smooth, delicate and has a skin texture;
High tensile strength and good hemostatic effect;
Good elasticity, small tensile deformation, high production efficiency, easy to color;
Environmental protection, fully comply with food, medical, FDA standards;
It is odorless, almost pollution-free as medical waste incineration, and does not produce a large amount of carcinogens such as PVC. The special model of dioxin is a professional nano antibacterial formula that instantly kills 99% of common bacteria;
Contains no special proteins and will not cause allergic reactions to special groups.
no.3 tpe pellets for thermometer
TPE materials are used in thermometers, which is one of the typical applications of TPE materials in encapsulation.
Performance advantages
Environmental protection and safety, free of phthalates, halogens, and REACH regulations, 38 items of SVHC highly concerned substances, in line with ROHS, REACH, NP, EN71, PAHS environmental protection testing standards;
Good processing performance, good adhesion effect, good encapsulation effect;
The good elasticity gives the thermometer a comfortable touch, improves the grip of the product, enhances the aesthetics of the product and the added value of the product.
no.4 tpe pellets for medical roller
TPE is recyclable, has adjustable hardness, and meets FDA and heavy metal content requirements. It is a recognized environmentally friendly material that meets the medical industry's demand for cleaner, safer, and cost-effective materials. TPE materials are typical for medical rollers.
Performance advantages
Good wear resistance, good adhesion, good shock absorption performance;
Quiet operation, no noise interference, can achieve silent effect;
Excellent physical properties: good appearance texture, easy to color, uniform color tone, stable;
Resistant to general chemicals (water, acid, alkali, alcohol solvents), soak in solvent or oil for a short time;
Non-toxic, non-polluting and recyclable secondary processing.
no.5 tpe pellets for medical film surgical tablecloth
TPE material can be used for medical film operating table cloth.
Performance advantages
Breathable, moisture-permeable and impermeable, antibacterial;
Good puncture resistance and slip resistance;
Feel delicate and dry, with skin texture and good skin-friendly;
Good elasticity, small tensile deformation, fast recovery force;
Easy to color;
Odorless, environmentally safe, FDA tested.
no.6 Infusion and injection supplies
In the fight against epidemics, almost all medical disposable infusion sets and injection needles are made of polymer materials. In the past, infusion tubes were mainly made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material, and now a considerable part is made of TPE In addition, a large amount of injection needles are mainly PVC and polypropylene.
Performance advantages
TPE material is a material with high elasticity, high strength and high resilience of rubber, and has the characteristics of injection molding processing. TPE material, a type of thermoplastic elastomer, used in ordinary transparent toys, sports equipment, etc., has environmental protection, non-toxic safety, wide application range, excellent coloring, soft touch, weather resistance, fatigue resistance and temperature resistance, processing It has superior performance, no vulcanization, and can be recycled to reduce costs. It can be double injection molded, coated with PP, PE, PC, PS, ABS and other matrix materials, or can be formed separately.
Due to the residual and release of chlorine element during the use of PVC materials, it causes harm to human health and the environment, so it is used less and less in medical treatment. The TPE material can just make up for its shortcomings, gradually replacing PVC in medical supplies to manufacture infusion tubes.
no.7 TPU medical protective clothing
PU, TPU film composite material, this composite material has a certain improvement in moisture permeability and comfort compared with the coating material. At this stage, more and more protective clothing manufacturers have begun to use high-permeability TPU films to develop medical protective clothing fabrics with high protection levels and comfortable wearing.
Performance advantages
The TPU film-making process eliminates the granulation process of adding calcium carbonate powder, and the production efficiency is high. TPU sealing strips are used when sewing protective clothing, and there is no need to use strips with fabric structure. The strip production and hot pressing are highly efficient, and the sealing and waterproof barriers are high.
no.8 Common protective gloves
Protective gloves are necessary protective equipment for work. According to different functions and materials, protective gloves can be divided into many categories. Therefore, it is important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of commonly used protective glove materials to choose gloves appropriately.
Performance advantages
TPU medical gloves can provide excellent water vapor permeability, antibacterial properties and comfort; TPU hydrophilic membrane can make the wound dressing have breathability and absorption functions; TPU has good compatibility with human blood and tissues, and can also be used to make blood transfusions And materials for artificial organs.
