CALIBRE™ MEGARAD™ 2081-6LR

About
CALIBRE™ MEGARAD™ 2081-6LR Polycarbonate resin was developed for medical applications requiring improved resistance to lipids over standard polycarbonate resins. When exposed to a 20% intralipid emulsion solution under strained conditions, CALIBRE MEGARAD 2081-6LR exhibits significant property retention compared to standard polycarbonate. It also provides end-users of radiation sterilized medical devices a color closer to the water-clear look of the natural resin. When exposed to high energy radiation (gamma or electron beam), CALIBRE MEGARAD 2081-6LR can reduce the color shift by 50% compared to general purpose polycarbonate resins. CALIBRE MEGARAD 2081-6LR has been evaluated with respect to ISO 10993 (Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices) and is suitable for use in approved medical applications. Main Characteristics Improved lipid resistance Stabilized for high-energy radiation Transparent Contains mold release Tested under ISO 10993 Applications Medical applications&&
