Medical Compounds Company Expands TPE
Range
A medical compounds company will expand its thermoplastic
elastomer (TPE) compounds range for healthcare and other applications.
Colorite, a Tekni-Plex business, is adding 12 grades to its
TPE formulations which will be used for IV therapy and medical devices.
Heath Schmid, director of business development at Colorite,
said: “Changes in regulations and market conditions are prompting medical device
manufacturers to look for solutions via other materials. The Cellene TPE
compound line is ideal for medical device manufacturers and others looking for
alternatives to PVC, phthalate-plasticized compounds and various rubber
materials. The line expansion will assist in reducing the development cycle and
provide manufacturers with greater options to obtain the durometer rating
required for their applications.”
