LEXAN™ HPX4EU Transparent Polycarbonate Resin Autoclave EtO Healthcare
Autoclave, Healthcare ISO 10993 or USP Class VI. Medium Viscosity
LEXAN™ HPX4EU Polycarbonate Resin is a Transparent Polycarbonate Copolymer designed for Healthcare applications that require Biocompatibility, Optical Clarity, and reliable Sterilization Performance. This Grade is Tailored for Medical Environments where consistent Quality, Regulatory Compliance, and Long-Term Durability are Essential.
Healthcare components often need to withstand repeated Sterilization Cycles without Compromising Performance. This material is Compatible with both Autoclave and Ethylene Oxide (Eto) Sterilization Methods, allowing Parts to maintain Mechanical Strength, Dimensional Stability, and Visual Clarity over time. Compliance with ISO 10993 and USP Class VI Standards supports its suitability for use in applications Involving Patient Contact and Regulated Medical Devices.
With a Medium Viscosity Profile, the Resin offers balanced Processing Behavior, enabling efficient Mold Filling while maintaining Control over Part Geometry. This allows manufacturers to achieve Repeatable Production Quality and Precise Detail Replication, especially for components where Dimensional Accuracy and Surface Consistency are Critical.
Transparency is a Key Feature of this Grade, providing Clear Light Transmission and Clean Visual Appearance. This makes it well suited for applications requiring Inspection Capability, Fluid Visibility, or Aesthetic Clarity, particularly in Diagnostic or Fluid-Handling Devices.
The Copolymer formulation also delivers good Impact Resistance and Low Temperature Ductility, ensuring that Parts retain Toughness during Handling, Transport, and use. This contributes to reliable performance throughout the Product Lifecycle in Healthcare Environments.
From a Flame performance Standpoint, LEXAN™ HPX4EU Polycarbonate Resin Achieves UL94 HB Rating from 1.50 mm to 3.00 mm Thickness, Meeting Basic Fire performance requirements where Flame Retardancy is not a Primary Design Focus.
The Resin is also RoHS Compliant, supporting alignment with Global Environmental and Regulatory Standards.
Common applications include Transparent Medical Housings, Diagnostic Components, Fluid Contact Parts, and Reusable Healthcare Devices where Clarity, Sterilization Capability, and consistent performance are required.
