PC/ABS copolymer blend grades with outstanding properties for applications in medical technology have been introduced. The resin Bayblend® M850 XF has been launched by Bayer MaterialScience AG, expanding its portfolio of PC/ABS (polycarbonate/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) copolymer blends. In addition to its excellent impact resistance, stiffness, color stability, heat resistance and processing properties, this product grade satisfies certain biocompatibility requirements of ISO 10993 Part 1. It is recommended for opaque medical applications such as components for surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment, systems administering drugs and intravenous systems. The product is particularly suitable for injection molding thin-walled components. The new grades for medical applications are suitable for sterilization using ethylene oxide (EtO), gamma radiation and electron rays, and offers the balanced combination of process ability and physical properties required for components used in medical and diagnostic equipment
