Thermoplastic compound that can withstand harsh disinfectants

14-Oct-15

A new proprietary alloy technology known as RTP 2000 HC has been introduced by RTP Company- a series of specially formulated compounds designed to maintain strength, functionality, and integrity, even with repeated exposure to hospital cleaners used to disinfect medical devices. In developing a thermoplastic compound that could withstand harsh disinfectants, RTP Company engineers tested a number of materials and a wide sampling of cleaners commonly used in the healthcare industry. The resulting RTP 2000 HC Series compounds were developed to provide superior chemical resistance and open new possibilities for the design of hospital equipment and plastic housings that require frequent disinfection, including mobile sonar and x-ray machines, enteral feeding devices, drug pumps, blood filtration equipment, and more. In addition, RTP Company representatives will be available to discuss a diverse selection of thermoplastic compounds, including: New RTP 100 eXtra Performance (XP) polypropylene compounds, formulated for higher strength, modulus, and impact properties Solvay’s Radel R-7000 polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) resins for aircraft interiors now available through RTP Company Low emission Very Long Fiber reinforced Polypropylene for use in automotive interiors Flame retardant plastics for low smoke, heat and flame spread applications
