Next Generation Vinyl Medical: Apex Injection Molding Compounds

The new Apex® Injection Molding Series is available with Shore A hardness from 50 to 90 and offers standard grades in a high-clarity medical blue tint, and can be custom formulated to meet a variety of color, opacity, and self-frosting needs as specified by the device manufacturer.  All of the compounds can be ETO-, gamma-, and E-beam-sterilized and exhibit good color hold.

Uses for injection molding grades include luers, canulae, caps, connectors, valves, ear protection, endotracheal airway cuffs, mouthpieces, oxygen masks, safety goggles, resuscitation bags, and bulbs.

The new compounds offer alternatives to DEHP and other orthophthalate plasticizers and are available in TOTM, ATBC, TOTM / DOTP and ATBC / DOTP grades. The new-generation compounds also comply with EU REACH-SVHC; EU-MDR; EU ROHS 1, 2 and 3; ISO 10993-5; and California Proposition 65. All grades are ADM-, BPA-, and latex-free. All ingredients are FDA 21 CFR listed except for TOTM, which has a proven history of safe use in medical device applications. In addition, USP Class VI test data is available.
