HEALTHCARE & HYGIENE
SABIC MATERIALS USED
Dedicated medical grades with a full product line from polyolefins (PE, PP) to high performance plastics including PEI resin, specialty compounds & copolymers, PC resin, PP resin, as well as a variety of specialty resins.
SABIC PURECARES™ portfolio – dedicated polyolefins for hygiene applications.
BENEFITS
Dedicated medical grades are compliant with the various pharmacopoeia and biocompatibility standards and offer performance features that provide greater safety, versatility, and easy sterilization and can help reduce costs and improve patient adherence.
SABIC PURECARES™ portfolio for hygiene applications offers pureness (Phthalate- and TNPP free) with high mechanical strength enabling down-gauging opportunities and good processability or high-speed production lines.
END APPLICATIONS
