High Performance Thermoplastic Polymers
High performance polymers are defined by a small class of high temperature and chemically resistant polymers. Typical medical applications are long-term implantation and catheter applications where superior lubricity or chemical resistance is required. Biomerics has the high temperature compounding capabilities to produce these materials in small medical compounding runs.
