Product Texts
High viscosity, unreinforced polyether ether ketone designed for the medical device industry
VESTAKEEP® Care is the ideal materials for the fabrication of medical devices with short time contact to human blood, tissue or bone for up to 30 days.
VESTAKEEP® Care Grades have a good biocompatibility, processability and the option to pigment.
VESTAKEEP® Care M40 G is a high viscosity, unreinforced polyether ether ketone for injection molding and extrusion. The semi-crystalline polymer features superior thermal and chemical resistance.
Biocompatibility of VESTAKEEP® Care
In an extensive testing program run by independent certified labs, biocompatibility has been tested following United States Pharmacopeia and ISO 10933-1:2003 guidelines.
The test reports attest VESTAKEEP® Care’s excellent biocompatibility.
Biocompatibility tests for VESTAKEEP® Care:
Processing of VESTAKEEP® Care
VESTAKEEP® Care resins can be processed using all conventional melt processing techniques such as injection moulding, extrusion, and compression moulding.
VESTAKEEP® Care M40 G can be processed by common machines for thermoplastics. We recommend a melt temperature between 370°C and 380°C during the injection molding process. The mold temperature should be within a range of 160°C to 200°C, preferably 180°C.
Our technical experts would appreciate to give you support regarding the special requirements for the processing of VESTAKEEP® Care M40 G.
Delivery of VESTAKEEP® Care
VESTAKEEP® Care M40 G is supplied as granules in 25 kg boxes with moisture-proof polyethylene liners.
