On February 11, 2020, Solvay announced the results of a study by PDI Healthcare on the compatibility of Solvay polymers with medical disinfectants
.
The study showed that 93% of the Solvay polymers tested exhibited high retention of tensile strength and 100% exhibited high retention of impact properties, which is a measure of the resistance to environmental stresses that may occur in materials exposed to chemicals A key indicator of cracking (ESC)
.
“It’s a delicate balance of being powerful enough to eliminate harmful bacteria, yet gentle enough to maintain the integrity of the medical device being sterilized,” said Sean Gallimore, senior vice president and general manager of PDI Healthcare: "Our collaboration with Solvay is a positive step towards ensuring that disinfectants are compatible with polymers during medical device development, ultimately helping healthcare organizations reduce overall operating costs and the risk of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs)
.
Performance testing by PDI Healthcare has tested Solvay Amodel® PPA (polyphthalamide), Radel® PPSU (polyphenylsulfone), Veradel® PESU (polyethersulfone) and Udel® PSU (polysulfone), future There are also plans to test Ixef® PARA (polyaramid) and Kalix® HPPA (high performance polyamide), all 6 polymers have been tested for appearance
