Performance Polymers
Ultraform® PRO (POM) & Ultradur® PRO (PBT) at a glance
High performance plastics with highest formulation consistency
We offer engineering plastics that have been optimized not only for medical applications (PRO = Profile covered Raw materials Only) but also with a comprehensive service package that guarantees formulation consistency and safety – from the raw material through to the patient.
Ultraform® PRO (POM, copolymeric polyoxymethylene) is a semi-crystalline copolymeric engineering plastic.
General Property Profile
Skin stretcher made of Ultraform® PRO. The PRO products fully meet the requirements of surgeons to be 100% precise with best possible performance.
- High crystallinity
- Ideal combination of strength, stiffness and toughness

The pairing of components made of Ultraform® PRO and Ultradur® PRO Offers extraordinary tribological synergy effects.
Tribological modified Ultraform® PRO TR and Ultradur® PRO TR grades are including a special lubricant which offers improved siding properties in terms of exceptional low friction and low wear properties for complex mechanical devices.
- No squeaking or noise while being used
- Suitable for dry run applications
- No external lubrication required - elimination of post siliconization process steps in production
- No running-in effects
- Smooth-running operation from the beginning
- Low breakaway forces
