Albis Plastic extends healthcare portfolio with Covestro’s TPU

Albis Plastic has expanded its healthcare product portfolio by adding Texin RxT TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer) types from Covestro.

 Texin RxT is suitable for many fields of applications in medical technology, laboratory and diagnostics – such as the production of tubes, catheters, housing parts, soft-touch handles, as well as many other applications – because of its tensile strength, abrasion resistance, elasticity and shock-absorbing properties.

It also has good resistance to hydrolysis and microbes, chemical resistance and transparency. Texin RxT is available in several hardness levels (Shore A70 – D65) and, unlike some conventional rubber or PVC products, does not contain any softeners, which can cause problems such as incompatibilities.  

The material possesses the same mechanical properties as the well-known Desmopan products from Covestro.

It also comes with an extensive regulatory service package – including assurance of a consistent formula as well as confirmations of food compatibility as per FDA and biocompatibility e.g. USP Class VI or ISO10993-1.
