When healthcare professionals
use plastic-based materials in patient care, they
expect them to provide safety and proven
performance. That means they must deliver the high
clarity, durability, strength, and chemical
resistance expectations set and, if possible, be
better for the environment. It’s a tall order for
many manufacturers, but our healthcare
standard-setting technology ensures these
benefits.
Patient safety continues to be
a driver in medical device market especially as it
relates to products performing well while standing
up to the rigorous daily and frequent usage
devices must also stand up to the increasingly
aggressive disinfectants used in the healthcare
facilities harsh pharmaceuticals and carrier
solvent proper function and clarity following the
sense sterilizations including EtO, gamma and
other processes round out a list of challenges
that are facing devices. |
In post covid era, pharmaceuticals
are becoming increasingly potent similar to when harsh
disinfectants are used devices made with plastics
often have difficulty standing up to these several
medications and treatments that can leak, break, cause
possible product contaminations have serious adverse
health consequences to the practitioners in fact some
of the oncological drugs are not compatible with the
traditional polymers used in delivery devices which
can lead to chemical attack and premature device
failure.
Eastman Chemical Company has been a
trusted supplier for medical markets more than 70
years for most of the global brands and has
consistently raised the standards for quality
reliability patient safety and comfort with highest
degree of customer satisfaction and sustainability
Eastman brings a total solution approach combining a
collaborative philosophy and industry expertise with
our growing portfolio of medical polymer this marriage
of applications and material knowledge can advance
innovation in market changing ways.
Eastman Tritan™ Copolyester
Eastman Tritan is a medical-grade
Copolyester that is indistinguishable in chemical
makeup and performance from legacy Tritan polymers.
It’s an easy choice that can enhance the
sustainability of your packaging without the need to
undergo a major requalification of the resins.
For fluid management components
and blood-contact devices, the advantages of Tritan
include:
• Chemical resistance to oncology
drugs and lipid-based carriers
• Being free of BPA, halogens, and other materials of
concern
• Reduced scrap rate from reduced cracking and black
specks
• No color shift after sterilization
For electronic device housings
used in the medical environment, Tritan Renew (MXF
series) delivers:
.• Chemical resistance to a wide
range of hospital disinfectants
• Toughness after exposure to a wide range of hospital
disinfectants
• True color match and retention
• A flame-retardant UL 94 FR V-2 flammability rating
Eastar™ 6763
Copolyester & Tritan Mp100
Eastar 6763 & Tritan
MP100 are clear, amorphous, medicalgrade Copolyester
for pharmaceutical and rigid medical packaging,
delivers clarity, puncture resistance, chemical
resistance, and ease of processing—just as our Eastar
6763, the world’s standard for rigid medical
packaging, has for decades.
• Superior, long-term
clarity for easy identification of instruments
• Excellent puncture resistance and impact toughness
• Excellent ability to be subjected to almost all
methods of
• Superior optical and physical property stability
post-sterilization
Exact Virgin like
aesthetics & Functionality & with up to 50% Lower
Carbon Footprint:
Eastman Renew medical
polymers offer the same high performance benefits—such
as clarity, safety, and durability—as our legacy
Eastman products that manufacturers have trusted for
generations. Renew adds the promise of sustainability
that is so important in today’s medical products.
Polymers made using Eastman’s Molecular Recycling
Technology use fewer fossilbased resources, meaning
that they contribute to a cleaner environment by
emitting less greenhouse gases and reducing our carbon
footprint. This molecular recycling breaks down
plastic waste into fundamental building blocks to be
used again in manufacturing processes—diverting
plastic waste from landfills and the environment. All
of the Eastman Medical Polymers bears third party (
ISCC+) certification and claims can be made by the
Brand Owners easily.
