LEXAN™ HP1 Resin. Advanced Autoclave and EtO Sterilizable Material

Healthcare ISO 10993 or USP Class VI. High Flow, added Easy Release

LEXAN™ HP1 Resin is a Healthcare-Focused Polycarbonate material developed for Medical Devices and components that require repeated Sterilization, Biocompatibility Compliance and reliable Processing Performance. Designed specifically for Healthcare applications, LEXAN™ HP1 combines High Flow Processing, added easy Release Technology and Sterilization Compatibility, making it a preferred material for demanding Medical Environments.

LEXAN™ HP1 Resin has been developed to withstand both Autoclave and Ethylene Oxide (Eto) Sterilization Processes. This capability allows Medical Devices Manufactured from LEXAN™ HP1 to maintain performance and appearance after Sterilization Procedures commonly used in Healthcare Facilities, supporting Long-Term Functionality and Patient Safety.

For Regulated Healthcare applications, LEXAN™ HP1 Polycarbonate Resin has been Biocompatibility Assessed According to ISO 10993 and USP Class VI Requirements. These Evaluations make LEXAN™ HP1 suitable for Consideration in Medical Equipment, Healthcare Devices and components requiring stringent material selection Standards.

LEXAN™ HP1 also delivers High Flow Processing performance with an MVR of 23, enabling efficient Mould Filling and Production of Intricate Component Geometries. Manufacturers using LEXAN™ HP1 Resin benefit from improved Processing Efficiency, Good Dimensional Accuracy and consistent Moulded Part Quality.
Added Easy Release Technology further enhances Manufacturing Productivity. During Injection Moulding Operations, LEXAN™ HP1 Promotes Smoother Part Ejection, helping reduce Cycle Interruptions and Improve Production Consistency while maintaining excellent Surface Quality.

Beyond its Healthcare Certifications and Processing Benefits, LEXAN™ HP1 Resin retains the Inherent Toughness, Transparency and Dimensional Stability Associated with Premium Polycarbonate Materials. This combination allows LEXAN™ HP1 to support the Production of durable Medical Housings, Fluid Management Components, Diagnostic Devices and Reusable Healthcare Equipment.

The unique Blend of Sterilization Resistance, Biocompatibility Assessment and High Flow characteristics makes LEXAN™ HP1 Polycarbonate Resin an excellent Choice for manufacturers seeking Compliance, performance and Processing Efficiency within Healthcare and Medical Device applications.
