PP LSG is a biocompatibility-tested polypropylene. Tests are carried out as per ISO 10993-5 and -10 on a semi-finished product and USP Class VI on the granules. In addition, the raw material used is compliant with the stipulations of the FDA. This polypropylene was developed for use in medical technology and is very resistant to cleaning agents and disinfectants. Thanks to its stabilization, it can withstand higher temperatures and has an improved dimensional stability in comparison with standard polypropylene. This means that it can be repeatedly sterilized using superheated steam. These properties are useful for the production of sterilization containers for surgical accessories, for example.Information provided by Angst + Pfister |
