...(Fig. 2). Styroflex 4G80 paved the way towards a full-styrenics IV. Together with medical technology providers, the company works on the next generation of drip chambers, e. g. based on Styrolux 4G60. Terlux and Zylar are excellent materials for Luer locks and IV connectors. These materials exhibit excellent transparency, good mechanical strength and stiffness and excellent chemical resistance/good environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR) and bonding performance. In addition, the good pro...

...ty, but also good processability. The trend towards material and weight-saving thin-walled parts is continuing. A few typical success stories from the broad field of healthcare applications are: pressure-resistant blood containers of Zylar MBS (methylmethacrylate-butadiene -styrene) (Fig. 2) with particularly transparent and consistent light permeability in contact with blood, impact-resistant, stress cracking-resistant injectors, three-way valves (Fig. 3), connectors and catheters of Terlux HD ...

...edestines SBC polymers – instead of free-radically produced SBR rubber – for high-quality, low-emission floor coverings. The transparency and toughness-rigidity ratio of methacrylate butadiene styrene (MBS) polymer grades sold under the Zylar trade name make them ideal for the further development of high clarity SBC specialties for impact modification of hard, stiff SMMA copolymers.The medical industry, too, is beginning to appreciate the core properties of SBC polymers. These include transparen...

... in recent years about alternatives to polycarbonate. One of the target segments here is that of dialysis and the corresponding housings, an application area dominated by polycarbonate. The first dialyzers (Fig. 2) based on Styrolux 656 C and also Zylar 960 (manufacturer: Styrolution Group) are at an advanced stage of testing and poised for market launch. Also facilitating the switch to SBC or MBS resins is the fact that changes to the injection molds are generally unnecessary because the resins...

... materials such as MBS polymers, for example, meet this requirement profile and are used e. g. for an entire series of toy figures by Playmobil (manufacturer: Geobra Brandstaetter GmbH & Co. KG, Zirndorf, Germany). Similarly, unbreakable MBS (grade: Zylar 960, manufacturer: Ineos Styrolution) is used for large, transparent/translucent, smoky topaz-colored covers for physical fitness equipment. Compared to polycarbonate (PC), injection molded parts are not only much lighter in weight, but are als...
