Polyplastics has commercialized DURACON^® POM (Polyoxymethylene / Acetal) PM Series for medical applications.

In the medical device marketplace, manufacturers and end users demand high quality materials from reliable suppliers. Polyplastics has served the medical and healthcare market for decades with its high-purity TOPAS^® COC (cyclic olefin copolymer). As the world’s leading manufacturer of POM, Polyplastics now adds DURACON^® POM PM Series to its medical grade portfolio and plans to expand material supply to the medical and healthcare market.

We offer two acetal grades for the medical market. With a standard viscosity, PM09S01N delivers the reliable mechanical properties and moldability expected from POM.

In addition, our high-flow grade PM27S01N will enable wall-thinning, miniaturization and light-weighting of medical devices that are becoming more and more complex and highly functional.

These grades meet medical device manufacturers’ key requirements and are expected to be used for a wide range of applications such as drug contact and delivery. Both grades offer global market and food regulatory compliance. The materials can be sterilized under hot steam and ethylene oxide (EtO) conditions.

Polyplastics plans to contribute to further development of the medical and healthcare market by expanding its portfolio of high-quality products for medical applications.
