EUROPLEX® PPSU
Engineering polymer sheets are the better alternative for manufacturing sterilizable trays and boxes.
EUROPLEX® sheets based on the engineering polymer polyphenyl sulphone (PPSU) are employed more and more frequently to manufacture trays or boxes for medical intruments.
Sheet material as a basis for such containers offers more rapid and flexible design and manufacturing options than injection moulding. Because of the relatively low costs for forming equipment, the use of sheet material is a very economical solution, particularly for small series.
The EUROPLEX® PPSU sheets used for items such as boxes and trays for surgical instruments, implants and endoscopes as well as disinfection baths and sterilizable equipment guards have withstood the tough conditions of everyday use in hospitals with excellent results. Their low weight, functional design and the ability to recognize the contents through transparent lids are major advantages over conventional metal containers.
Components fabricated from EUROPLEX® PPSU show high impact strength and are therefore practically unbreakable. The excellent resistance to hydrolysis and chemicals permits frequent contact with aggressive disinfectants and repeated sterilization by means of superheated steam or other methods.
Röhm GmbH, the plastics specialist and manufacturer of EUROPLEX® PPSU sheets, will be glad to advise you. Together with the manufacturers of sterilizable containers, we can support you from product design through the selection of materials right up to serial manufacture.
