LEXAN™ HPS4 Resin. Advanced Autoclave and EtO Sterilizable Material
Biocompatibility Assessed, Unique Low Flow with Added Easy Release
LEXAN™ HPS4 Resin is a Specialized Healthcare Polycarbonate Material Developed for Critical Medical Disposable Products requiring Radiation Resistance, Sterilization Compatibility and Consistent Long-Term Performance. Engineered for demanding healthcare environments, LEXAN™ HPS4 combines a Unique Low Flow Processing Profile with Added Easy Release Technology, making it an excellent choice for precision-moulded medical components where dimensional control and durability are essential.
When medical products must withstand multiple sterilization methods, LEXAN™ HPS4 Polycarbonate Resin provides exceptional versatility. Components manufactured from LEXAN™ HPS4 are suitable for Ethylene Oxide (EtO), Steam, Electron Beam (E-Beam) and Gamma Sterilization Processes. This broad sterilization compatibility allows healthcare manufacturers to select the most appropriate sterilization method without compromising material performance.
LEXAN™ HPS4 is specifically formulated as a Radiation Resistant Grade. Medical disposable devices produced from LEXAN™ HPS4 Resin are designed to maintain their mechanical properties and appearance after exposure to Gamma and E-Beam sterilization, making the material particularly valuable for healthcare applications where radiation processing is routinely required.
A distinguishing characteristic of LEXAN™ HPS4 Polycarbonate is its Low Flow formulation with an MVR of 10. Unlike higher-flow grades optimized for thin-wall moulding, LEXAN™ HPS4 offers enhanced process control and dimensional consistency for more robust medical components. This processing profile makes LEXAN™ HPS4 Resin suitable for applications requiring precision, structural integrity and reliable part performance.
Healthcare manufacturers also benefit from the Biocompatibility Assessment associated with LEXAN™ HPS4. This assessment supports the use of LEXAN™ HPS4 Polycarbonate Resin in medical applications where material consistency, regulatory compliance and patient safety are critical considerations.
To improve manufacturing productivity, LEXAN™ HPS4 incorporates Added Easy Release Technology. This feature promotes smoother mould ejection, helping reduce cycle interruptions and improve overall processing efficiency while maintaining excellent part quality and dimensional accuracy.
From Medical Disposable Devices and Diagnostic Components to Laboratory Consumables and Healthcare Equipment Parts, LEXAN™ HPS4 Resin delivers a dependable combination of Radiation Resistance, Sterilization Compatibility and Precision Processing Performance. The unique balance of Low Flow Control, Easy Release Processing and Medical-Grade Durability makes LEXAN™ HPS4 a reliable material solution for advanced healthcare applications.
