Available from 8 to 40 Shore A, these Medalist TPEs are designed to replace latex in extruded film applications.  These materials exhibit high elasticity and elongation, similar haptics and drape as latex, but are more cost effective, odor-free, and non-allergenic.

Available from 40 to 53 Shore A, these Medalist TPEs are designed to replace PVC in low-temperature film applications like cold storage.  Medalist TPEs offer better, more consistent performance in cold environments than PVC, with comparable strength and enhanced toughness.

For translucent medical tubing, the Medalist® MD-12300 Series offers a tremendous cost savings over silicone rubber. Medalist tubing exhibits similar characteristics to silicone tubing, however silicone can have absorption issues and is extremely permeable to gases. These concerns are eliminated when using Medalist medical TPEs. Also, since Medalist materials are thermoplastic and not thermoset like silicone, they are heat sealable and sterile weldable.

Available from 65 to 90 Shore A, the Medalist® MD-53200 Series mirrors the clarity, haptics, and performance characteristics of PVC, while exhibiting enhanced gamma stability and flexibility over a wider temperature range. Medical tubing made from Medalist has excellent kink resistance and clamp resilience. In addition, with the MD-53200 Series, the aesthetics of the tubing can be easily manipulated during extrusion to appear crystal clear, translucent, or frosted. These grades can also be used in non-breathable single and multi-layer films. In comparison with films made of PVC, Medalist® films exhibit the same degree of strength but at half of the thickness. In addition, Medalist® compounds are 30% less dense than flexible PVC, can be down gauged without compromising strength, can be sealed using heat welding to make bags, and are less permeable to gases and moisture than PVC.

The Medalist® MD-84000 series is the premier choice for medical cables and electrosurgical instruments. These medical-grade TPEs exhibit superior mechanical and electrical properties before and after repeat sterilization, offer improved processing, and enhance the look and feel of the end product—especially when compared to the TPVs (thermoplastic vulcanizates) that are currently the industry standard. These grades are UL-rated, made with FDA compliant ingredients, and are RoHS and REACH SVHC compliant.
