Syensqo (Solvay Specialty Polymers) Ixef® GS-1022 Polyarylamide (PARA), 50% glass fiber
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyarylamide (PAA); Polyarylamide, Glass Fiber Filled

Material Notes: 50% glass fiber, gamma stabilized for healthcare

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.

Colors available:
- Brown: GS-1022 BN01
- Blue: GS-1022 BU01
- Green: GS-1022 GN01
- Grey: GS-1022 GY01
- Grey: GS-1022 GY02
- Grey: GS-1022 GY51
- White: GS-1022 WH01

Markets/Uses: Healthcare / Medical Devices / Dental Instruments; Healthcare / Medical Devices / Medical Parts/Thin Walls; Healthcare / Medical Devices / Medical Single Use Applications; Healthcare / Medical Devices / Medical/Healthcare Applications; Healthcare / Medical Devices / Orthopedics; Healthcare / Medical Devices / Sizing Trials; Healthcare / Medical Devices / Surgical Instruments

Applications: Dental Applications; Hospital Goods; Medical Devices; Medical/Healthcare Applications; Surgical Instruments

Features: Biocompatible; Chemical Resistant; Creep Resistant; E-beam Sterilizable; Ethylene Oxide Sterilizable; Good Dimensional Stability; Good Sterilizability; High Flow; High Strength; Low Moisture Absorption; Outstanding Surface Finish; Radiation (Gamma) Resistant; Radiation Sterilizable; Radiotranslucent; Ultra High Stiffness

Property values for individual batches will vary within specification limits. Values shown are typical of Ixef GS-1022/WH01 resin; other colorants may alter values.

There will be a shift in color when comparing pre-gamma sterilization and post-gamma sterilization colors. It is also expected that the colors will revert to some degree, back toward the as-molded color. Lighter colors may display the greatest variation.

Injection notes: Hot runners: 250° to 260°C (482° to 500°F)
Storage
Ixef® compounds are shipped in moisture-resistant packages at moisture levels according to specifications. Sealed, undamaged bags should be preferably stored in a dry room at a maximum temperature of 50°C (122°F) and should be protected from possible damage. If only a portion of a package is used, the remaining material should be transferred into a sealable container. It is recommended that Ixef® resins be dried prior to molding following the recommendations found in this datasheet and/or in the Ixef® processing guide.
