PA6 Medical-Grade

PA6 Medical-Grade – High-Purity, Safe, and Reliable Nylon 6 for Medical Applications

Medical-grade PA6 manufactured under controlled processes to deliver high purity, low extractables and biocompatibility suitable for selected medical device parts. Typical features include sterilization resistance (autoclave, EtO options), dimensional stability, chemical resistance to common disinfectants and low odor. Applications include non-implantable housings, diagnostic equipment components, instrument handles and disposable device parts. Compliance testing (ISO 10993, extractables/LEL) and custom cleanliness packaging can be provided on request to meet customer regulatory needs.
