LEXAN™ HPH4504H Opaque Polycarbonate Resin. Biocompatible High Heat

LEXAN™ HPH4504H Polycarbonate Resin is an Opaque Polycarbonate Copolymer engineered for Healthcare applications requiring enhanced High Heat Resistance, Biocompatibility, and robust Durability under repeated Sterilization Conditions. This Grade is designed to perform reliably in demanding Medical Environments where Thermal Stability and Long Service Life are Critical.

In Healthcare applications Involving Frequent Sterilization Cycles, Materials must withstand repeated exposure to Heat without Loss of Performance. This Grade is specifically formulated for enhanced Autoclave Resistance, allowing components to maintain Mechanical Integrity and Dimensional Stability over Extended use. It is also Compatible with Ethylene Oxide (Eto) Sterilization, ensuring flexibility across different Sterilization Methods.

Compliance with ISO 10993 and USP Class VI Standards supports its suitability for applications Involving Patient Contact, ensuring that the material meets widely Accepted requirements for Biocompatibility and Safety in Regulated Medical Environments.

Processing characteristics Reflect a High Viscosity Profile, offering improved Melt Strength and Better Control when Molding Thicker or Structurally demanding Components. This enables more consistent Part Geometry and Minimizes deformation during Processing, making it suitable for applications where Precision and Structural reliability are Priorities.

In addition to its Thermal Capabilities, the Resin maintains Low Temperature Ductility, allowing components to remain Tough and resistant to Cracking even when subjected to varying Handling or Environmental Conditions. This contributes to consistent performance throughout the Product Lifecycle.

Compared to standard High-Heat Grades, this formulation Places greater Emphasis on Long-Term Autoclave Durability, making it particularly Effective in applications that require repeated Sterilization without Degradation.

From a Flame performance Standpoint, LEXAN™ HPH4504H Polycarbonate Resin Achieves UL94 HB Classification from 1.50 mm to 3.00 mm Thickness, supporting applications where Basic Flame performance is Sufficient.

The material is also RoHS Compliant, aligning with Global Environmental and Regulatory Standards.

Engineers typically Apply this Grade in Medical Device Housings, Reusable Instruments, Sterilizable Components, and Structural Healthcare Parts where High Heat Resistance, enhanced Sterilization Performance, and Long-Term reliability are required.
