HC Plastics News: Solvay, the world's leading specialty polymer supplier, today announced that Apollo Medical Extrusion can now offer a single chamber made of Solvay medical grade Veradel ® HCA-301NT polyethersulfone (PESU). And multi-cavity medical microtubes.
Apollo manufactures a wide range of microtubes for catheter, endoscopic and laparoscopic instruments. The addition of Veradel ® HC A-301PESU as a new member of the product family has greatly expanded the range of options for extrusion products designed by manufacturers of extruded products for rigidity, transparency and disinfection.
“Usually, we offer the polymer in our portfolio as a solution, but our now-launched Veradel ® PESU can be offered to customers as a creative trigger,†said Jonathan Jurgaitis, senior processing manager at Apollo Medical Extrusion. It has better performance than polycarbonate and is more transparent than PEI. It can also be made into a multi-cavity microtube shape that stainless steel cannot achieve."
