At the MD&M Brazil show, Sabic exhibited its healthcare resin portfolio by showing applications from two Brazilian equipment customers, Gnatus and Indusbello.
One company, Gnatus, chose a Valox polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resin from Sabic to replace PP in an instrument tray. According to Sabic, the PBT provides outstanding chemical resistance, improved dimensional stability and reduced warpage. Gnatus also used a Sabic material to make a dental lighting reflector, this time a Lexan PC.
Indusbello, on the other hand, chose Sabic’s Ultem resin when designing sterilising trays for dental instruments.
Compared to metal, Ultem resin gave a greater flexibility in design, transparency, superior aesthetics and enhanced productivity through injection moulding, says Sabic.
