Velox adds more Lubrizol TPUs to medical roster

The new materials are: Pellethane TPU, an aromatic polyether, with a range of Shore hardness from 80A to 75D, offering abrasion, wear, low temperature and chemical resistance, flexibility with durability and impact resistance; and Isoplast ETPU, a rigid engineered TPU that offers very good processability, chemical and impact resistance, low melt viscosity, and durability with mechanical and barrier properties.

Velox already has 10 years of cooperation with US-based Lubrizol. Currently, the portfolio includes the aliphatic TPU families of Tecoflex, Carbothane, Tecothane, and Tecophilic as well as custom medical tubing.

Siobhan Bastiansen, Velox’s market manager of medical applications, said: “The addition of Pellethane and Isoplast TPUs to the Velox Medical Division enables us to offer our customers – the medical device designers – a complete range of TPU materials covering a wide spectrum of applications. Isoplast ETPU, in particular, is relatively unknown in Europe, and we are developing new applications for this unique family of resins. Lubrizol medical TPUs are a key part of our medical polymers portfolio.”
