Teknor Apex MTI Website - 1 Teknor Apex , a trusted provider of custom plastic compounds for the healthcare industry, has announced the expansion of its medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) portfolio with new grades specifically designed for biopharmaceutical tubing applications. The company will be showcasing the new TPEs at COMPAMED , November 11-14 in Dusseldorf, Germany. Medical device manufacturers choose thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for applications that require flexibility or rubber-like elasticity.
The Medalist Series of TPEs are tailored to address the unique challenges associated with the continuous processing of biopharmaceuticals through roller pumps. The new Medalist TPE grades offer a combination of performance benefits says the company, including: Enhanced Clarity: Improved transparency for visual inspection of fluid flow and potential particle contamination. Reduced Spallation: Minimised material loss and contamination risks during extended pump operation.
Extended Pump Life: Increased durability and longevity of tubing, reducing maintenance requirements and downtime. Teknor Apex says these advanced materials are ideal for a wide range of biopharmaceutical applications including single-use systems, bioreactors, filtration systems and fluid transfer lines. Teknor Apex can be found in Hall 8B, booth F20-4 at COMPAMED.
