Product Description
CALIBRE™ 2060-6 Polycarbonate resin is used in medical applications involving steam or ethylene oxide sterilization - though suitability for use in these applications is dependent upon autoclave cycle times and temperatures. CALIBRE 2060-6 provides exceptional clarity, heat resistance, impact strength, and processability, and has low contamination levels. The CALIBRE 2000 series of resins have been evaluated by certain biocompatibility tests based on on ISO 10993-1 (Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices) and are suitable for use in approved medical applications.
