If you serve healthcare or bioprocessing customers, material traceability and safety matter. Mitsubishi Chemical Group (MCG) offers a family of life science grades—PSU, PEI, and PPSU—that are pre-assessed for biocompatibility, according to the ISO 10993 standards. We pair that testing with robust quality assurance and full traceability from resin to stock shape, and even machined parts if desired.
Unlike many convertors, MCG minimizes added processing aids during extrusion that can affect biological safety. We maintain strict control of the process and the finished stock shapes. This added level of assessment brings testing closer to the final component.
The MCG Difference for Your Customers
- Faster material evaluation with pre-assessment biocompatibility testing to the finished stock shapes
- Fewer surprises in downstream testing
- Access to a wide range of stock shapes to reduce lead time and cost
MCG Life Science Portfolio Highlights
Together with a few Ketron™ PEEK grades, Sultron™ PSU and PPSU and Duratron™ PEI serve as trusted materials selected by customers for many medical and pharmaceutical applications. For many structural applications, they act as cost-effective alternatives to PEEK.
- Sultron™ PSU and PPSU—Strong candidates for repeated sterilization and chemical exposure
- Duratron™ PEI—High strength and excellent dielectric performance
- Select Ketron™ PEEK grades are available where extreme performance is required
MCG offers comparative tables for sterilization compatibility and general chemical resistance to guide your testing and regulatory work. Material summaries for medical and bioprocessing uses are available on request.
Sterilization Resistance
* Not suited for continuous cycles without intervening cleaning
X-rays have an energy range of 100 eV to 100 keV. Gamma rays cover the electromagnetic spectrum with energy levels above 100 keV. This makes gamma rays more powerful than x-rays, therefore assumed at least same level of compatibility as to gamma irradiation.
