Protecting Medical Equipment
RTP Company recently hosted a webinar entitled “Protecting
Medical Equipment Plastic from Chemical
Disinfectant Damage”. The webinar reviewed the RTP
2000 HC series, a proprietary plastic compound technology
that maintains strength, integrity, and functionality,
even after repeated exposure to chemical disinfectants.
Hospitals
worldwide
are using
harsh chemical
disinfectants
on medical devices and equipment to control the
spread of infection. These aggressive cleaners can cause
plastic housings and casings to become brittle and
crack, rendering the devices and equipment nonfunctioning
or unsafe to use. RTP Company has developed
RTP 2000 HC, a proprietary plastic compound technology
that provides the critical impact resistance and
comparable shrink rate and moldability of amorphous
polymers (e.g. PC and PC/ABS alloys), but that can also
withstand the chemical attack of the aggressive cleaners
and disinfectants.
