There are many advantages in using polyamide (PA) in an application, including high temperature resistance, a very high strength, a matt surface and excellent stiffness and impact resistance. When combined with Lifoflex PA bonding grades, you get the properties of both materials in one product.
These special TPE grades offer excellent bonding to PA6, PA66, PA12 in two component applications. Giving you the advantage of soft-touch qualities without the need for separate primer or adhesive. A high bonding strength is also possible to glass fibre reinforced polyamide materials (up to 40% glass fibre).
The outstanding properties of these TPE compounds, such as high service temperature range, high oil resistance, soft touch surface and high flexibility, open up the design possibilities in a wide variety of applications.
The Lifoflex PA bonding grades are very easy to process via injection moulding. The wide processing window results in a lower rate of defective parts and faster cycle times.

Mediprene® 500434M | Asia Pacific |
ELASTO have developed a range of Mediprene thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) for plunger seals in single-use syringes.
The TPE seal, which is mounted on the end of the plunger, needs to provide a leakproof seal with the syringe barrel. As ease of use for the medical practitioner and patient comfort are also key requirements, the seal helps to optimize plunger movement for accurate dosage control and ease of injection.
Regulatory compliance
Originating from medical raw materials with high biocompatibility status and compounded under clean conditions, Mediprene TPEs are the material of choice for medical customers who want to maximize the probability that their devices will pass relevant medical tests.
The raw materials in these compounds comply with food contact norms like FDA 21CFR and Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011. All polymers used have passed tests according to USP class VI and the paraffinic oil has passed the USP Mineral Oil NSF H1, reg 125038 and also the European Pharmacopeia, liquid paraffin.
Mediprene TPEs are latex free, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions. Representative grades have passed cytotoxicity tests according to ISO 10993-5 and biocompatibility tests according to USP Class VI.
