LEXAN™ HPX4REU Transparent Clear Polycarbonate Resin Autoclave EtO
Autoclave, Healthcare ISO 10993 or USP Class VI. Medium Viscosity
LEXAN™ HPX4REU Polycarbonate Resin is a Transparent Polycarbonate Copolymer developed for Healthcare applications that require Biocompatibility, reliable Sterilization Performance, and improved Processing Efficiency through Easy Release Behavior. This Grade is designed to support Medical Manufacturing Environments where both Precision Molding and Long-Term Durability are Essential.
In Healthcare Systems, components are Frequently subjected to repeated Sterilization Cycles, requiring Materials that can retain performance over time. This Grade is Compatible with Autoclave and Ethylene Oxide (Eto) Sterilization, enabling Parts to maintain Structural Integrity, Clarity, and Dimensional Accuracy throughout Extended Use. Compliance with ISO 10993 and USP Class VI Standards ensures suitability for applications Involving Patient Contact and Regulated Medical Devices.
A Distinguishing Feature of this formulation is its enhanced Easy Release Characteristic, which Improves Part Ejection during Molding. This helps reduce Mold Adhesion, supports Smoother Demolding, and contributes to more stable Production Cycles and improved Manufacturing Efficiency, particularly in High-Volume Medical Component Production.
With a Medium Viscosity Profile, the Resin provides balanced Flow Behavior, allowing consistent Filling of Molds while maintaining Control over Part Geometry. This balance enables Production of Detailed components with reliable Dimensional Precision and Repeatable Quality, which is critical in Healthcare applications.
The Transparent Nature of the material allows for Clear Visibility and Light Transmission, supporting Designs that require Inspection Capability, Fluid Monitoring, or Visual Access. This makes it suitable for Medical Devices where both Functionality and Clarity are Important.
Mechanically, the Copolymer Structure offers good Impact Resistance and Low Temperature Ductility, ensuring Parts remain Tough during Handling, Storage, and use. This supports consistent performance across different Stages of the Product Lifecycle.
For Flame Classification, LEXAN™ HPX4REU 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 the Primary Design Driver.
The formulation is also RoHS Compliant, aligning with Global Environmental and Regulatory Standards.
This Grade is commonly used in Transparent Medical Housings, Diagnostic Components, Fluid-Handling Systems, and Reusable Healthcare Devices where Sterilization Capability, Clarity, and efficient Processing are required together
