Ixef® GS-1022 is a 50% glass-fiber reinforced grade of polyarylamide (PARA) available in several colors. Parts molded from these colored resins can withstand high-energy gamma radiation without significant change in appearance and physical properties. Ixef® GS-1022 resins demonstrate no evidence of cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous reactivity or acute systemic toxicity, based on biocompatibility testing as defined by ISO 10993-1. This resin offers superior strength and stiffness combined with outstanding surface gloss and exceptional flow and is well suited for medical applications, such as single use surgical instruments and structural device housings, and applications in food service equipment.
