Protective additive ProVital+ Gamma-Protect ensures durability of medical-grade polypropylene plastics during sterilization process.
In a recent announcement, Ampacet, a global leader in masterbatch solutions, has expanded its product portfolio with the introduction of ProVital+ Gamma-Protect and ProVital+ Colors. These medical-grade additives are designed to preserve the mechanical and optical properties of polypropylene during gamma and electron beam (e-beam) sterilization, which are commonly used in the medical industry to eliminate microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and spores.
ProVital+ Gamma-Protect stabilises polypropylene during these sterilisation processes, helping to prevent degradation of the polymer. It has been pre-evaluated for biocompatibility according to ISO 10993 part 5, 10, and 23 (cytotoxicity, sensitisation, and irritation) at a letdown ratio of 5%. This additive is intended for use in medical devices, in-vitro diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceutical packaging systems.
In addition to ProVital+ Gamma-Protect, Ampacet has also introduced ProVital+ Colors, medical-grade color masterbatch solutions. These color solutions are part of Ampacet's product portfolio and are intended for use in medical applications.
The ProVital+ LaserMark portfolio, another addition to Ampacet's offerings, is designed for use in medical applications. This portfolio provides solutions for laser marking on medical-grade plastics, ensuring traceability and compliance with regulatory requirements.
While the search results do not explicitly mention other medical-grade additive solutions formulated specifically for polypropylene sterilization resistance under gamma or e-beam irradiation, Ampacet's expertise lies in the production of customized masterbatches with stabilizers tailored for medical-grade polypropylene. For detailed product recommendations or specific additive solutions, it is recommended to contact Ampacet directly or review their official technical datasheets and product offerings on their corporate website or through industry distributors.
Manufacturing of these new products is under consistent process parameters and cleanroom production to minimise cross contamination risks. Ampacet's commitment to quality and safety is evident in these new offerings, ensuring the production of high-quality, reliable, and safe medical-grade additives.
