SABIC ULTEM™ HU resins, a highlight at MD&M West 2024, can help ease transition from EtO sterilization
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, will highlight at MD&M West 2024 in Booth #3287 its versatile and durable ULTEM™ HU resins, which can help medical device manufacturers choose alternatives to ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization. Demand is growing for materials compatible with other sterilization methods in anticipation of a new ruling by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that may reduce EtO emissions from commercial sterilization facilities. ULTEM HU resins are stable across many popular sterilization processes, providing the potential for multiple use options. These resins can also withstand multiple sterilization cycles. Their excellent retention of strength and color can help reduce breakage and discoloration, thereby potentially extending the useful life of applications made with these materials.
