Medical

Market Overview

When people’s health is on the line, medical practitioners need equipment that will operate efficiently. Fluoropolymers offer flexibility and chemical inertness, which makes them reliable for medical applications requiring precise action and exposure to chemical and biological elements.

Our wide range of high-purity and chemically resistant compounds is created especially to suit the demanding requirements of sensitive medical device applications.

Due to their light weight, transparency, flexibility, and biocompatibility, fluoropolymers are used in the fabrication of half of all medical devices now on the market.

These outstanding qualities provide a range of enhanced performance capabilities, including: 

  • Critical operating temperature
  • Chemical contact and resistance
  • Single use sterilisation compared to repeated sterilisation
  • Resistance to high temperature, impact, and chemical
  • Good strength, toughness, and hardness
  • High purity

 

Our team at Enkidu Polymers is committed to working with its customers to safely develop and increase the use of its materials in medical applications.

Applications:

  • Medical Devices
  • Pharmaceutical Equipment
  • Compressors
