Trilliant™ HC Healthcare Thermoplastics
Prevents Device Cracking
Trilliant™ HC Healthcare Thermoplastics are specifically formulated to meet the high-performance material requirements of medical device manufacturers as well as demonstrate compliance with various regulatory bodies. These customizable formulations can replace traditional materials such as FR PC/ABS, FR PC/PET and FR COPE, offer improved chemical resistance to common disinfectants, achieve a UL 94 V-0 at 1.5 & V-1 at 0.75 flame rating when necessary, and can often be molded in existing PC/ABS tooling. With its improved long-term resistance to harsh disinfectants such as Virex® Tb, CaviCide™, Vesphene® IIse, and Super Sani-Cloth®,¹ Trilliant™ HC can help medical equipment manufacturers extend the overall service life of their devices.
Available in both natural and standard medical pre-colored products, the Trilliant HC family of materials are formulated without BPA ingredients.
