The sand - base innovative plastic Valox and Xylex resin products help GE healthcare group cope with increasingly stringent new medical equipment requirements
Shanghai, China - on February 16, 2011 - the recent, Elizabeth foundation innovation plastic during the 2011 American medical equipment and medical device design expo exhibition on the West (MD&M West) announced that the global leader in the field of medical technology GE healthcare has chosen to resin and Xylex Valox * * resin respectively used as its new Optima XR220amx1 mobile X-ray machine shell and storage tank material, in order to meet the growing demand of medical equipment. These high-performance resin products help GE healthcare solution on this a new type bedside diagnostic radiology equipment in improving safety, accuracy, more efficient care and economic aspects of the stringent requirements. Elizabeth based innovative plastics provides a comprehensive and abundant product series, medical materials for medical device class customers with a variety of solutions to help them cope with the changing regulatory and design and performance requirements. The company presented the advanced materials technology at the 1839 booth at the western exhibition of the American medical device and medical device design fair. "To our customers and for the patient, we and Elizabeth foundation innovation plastic on the famous projects of cooperation is a great success," GE healthcare global marketing mobile DXR department manager Guillermo Sander said: "with the aid of Xylex and Valox resin, we created a lightweight, easy to clean and beautiful appearance 'mobile radiation video room. The diversity resin products and a large number of application development services provided by the sand base innovative plastics have helped to optimize the design and performance of this new generation of diagnostic devices. "Elizabeth foundation innovation plastic is more and more attention to medical products manufacturer in the world to provide more advanced material technology to enrich their product line," Elizabeth foundation innovation plastic medical global product marketing director Tom O 'brien, said: "GE healthcare has been committed to solve the most serious health problems, so we are very proud can be maintained for more than 15 years with the company of close relations of cooperation. For this new X-ray device, the materials we provide can make it lighter, more chemically resistant and more durable. Keep up with the latest trend of medical material selection GE healthcare's Valox V3900WX resin is mixture of pet/polycarbonate (PC), its high impact performance can meet the health care industry to improve patient safety and reduce the cost of requirements. Valox resin has the super chemical resistance of polyester, which can resist the chemical erosion of the stronger disinfectant used in hospital to avoid the infection of the hospital. For portable devices such as GE medical devices, the material has high impact resistance and dimensional stability of the PC, which can effectively resist the collision and friction caused by the internal transport of the hospital. This kind of flame retardant (FR) and can absorb ultraviolet (UV) resin with outstanding appearance, and mould can be shaded from the cost-benefit, it is replacing traditional ideal painted metal. In addition, the super processing properties of this material are beneficial to manufacturing large and high quality precision parts. When designing a new type of ergonomic equipment, Valox resin can provide more freedom than metal materials. The coating properties of the resin make GE medical group not need to make a second spray paint to create the bright white, which reduces the cost, but also reduces the influence of spray paint on the environment. Internal coloring can also avoid scratches and make the parts easier to clean. Valox V3900WX resin has been certified by UL's global level product (GG), with a rating of UL746C F1 full color system. The GG logo indicates that the material is transported from one area to another without the need for expensive and complex material qualification re-certification, which provides more flexibility for global customers. Its flame retardant rating is UL 94 V0 based on the 1.5mm wall thickness, and 5VA is based on the wall thickness of 3.0mm standard. Xylex X7519HP resin is a transparent mixture of PC and non-crystalline polyester. Compared with the use of PC alone, adding polyester can enhance the chemical resistance of the material and help prevent infection within the hospital. Polyester can also enhance the stress cracking resistance of the resin and can be processed at a lower temperature. The high impact and proximity glass transparency makes Xylex resins ideal for making storage containers. Similar to Valox resin, this material can also be tinted. Elizabeth foundation innovation of plastics in medical based innovation advantages of queen Elizabeth has covered more than 50 medical material specifications of the perfect product line, and actively provide regulations list and evaluate the biocompatibility of medical product strategy, to develop new products for manufacturers to save the time and cost required. Elizabeth foundation innovation plastic for the health care industry to provide the most complete of crystals and transparent material series products, these products have been listed in the United States food and drug administration (FDA) or equipment master file, follow formula confidentiality and strict change management procedures. In addition to a wide range of product and medical product strategies, the company also provides professional knowledge and experience to highlight its long-term commitment to the market. Sand base innovative plastic has been invested to expand its high performance products series to meet the latest demand of the market and always lead the important trend of regulation, scientific research and consumption trends.
