Medical pump innovation marks new technical collaboration for Distrupol
Confirming its position as a leading European polymer distributor, technical service and solutions provider, Distrupol has played a crucial role in a pioneering development through a collaborative partnership with PDD Innovations Limited, part of the PDD Group, a leading UK-based Product Innovation Consultancy. This latest working relationship has realised its first major project with the development and launch of a unique disposable rotary displacement pump for IV use, which is set to revolutionise medical devices.
Distrupol’s comprehensive approach to customer support led to its selection by French packaging specialist, IMPRISAC, for assistance in developing a new line of 5-layer gas barrier films. Of key importance was to achieve step improvements in film transparency and processibility. To do this, Distrupol, a member company of Univar and a leading European polymer distributor and solutions provider, worked with IMPRISAC technicians to establish the ideal material property profile.
The housing and rim of the recently-introduced Philips 25 watt MasterColor® Integrated PAR38 metal halide lamp retain their good looks and strength, thanks to Arnite® polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) from DSM Engineering Plastics. The Philips lamp has proven popular in retail and industrial settings because it lasts two to three times longer than similarly-rated halogen lamps, and it uses 65% less energy to create more light output than halogen competitors. In addition to the material, DSM Engineering Plastics provided product and tool design consultation for the lamp, as well as International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) end-product testing.
