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.
