Performance Polymers
Diagnostics/ laboratory
Instruments and accessories for the use in diagnostics require materials - like BASF’s medical grades Ultradur® PRO and Ultraform® PRO - that can meet very different requirements from sterilization and chemical resistance to outstanding resilience and tribological properties.
Embedding / Biopsy cassette
Materials
- Ultraform® PRO (POM)
Component:
- Base & lid
Requirements:
- High Density
→ specimens will be kept safely submerged in solution - Chemical resistance
→ chemical action of histological solvents - Resilience & tribological properties
→ Lids can be opened and closed as often as necessary and they always relock securely without danger of specimen loss - Moldability of slots
→ offering maximum flow through for good fluid exchange and proper drainage
Biotechnology
Materials
- Ultradur® PRO (PBT)
Component:
- Air relief valve
Requirements:
- Air Relief Valve over molded using LSR Silpuran 6700 (Wacker)
- Hot Steam Sterilisation using 134°C with 25 cycles
