Push rod rubber plug medical TPE can enhance the injection function

the rubber plug molded by medalisttpe of teknor apex is easy to slide on the glass or plastic injection cylinder; Wrapping the push rod can save the assembly steps

putakit, Rhode Island, April 4, 2018: compared with natural rubber and isoprene rubber, the new medical grade thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) suitable for injection molding push rod rubber plug has higher injection performance, lower cost and easier molding; It can also provide processing advantages over thermoplastic vulcanized rubber (TPV) elastomers. Teknor apex will introduce the compound at npe2018 International Plastics Exhibition (booth s22045)

the rubber plug molded by the new medalisttpe stops automatically on the glass and the moving beam; The plastic injection cylinder performs well. Due to the low friction coefficient, the consistent push rod release force and injection force can be achieved. The compound can be coated on the push rod, thereby eliminating the assembly step. In addition to various grades of compounds coated on polypropylene, the company also provides special grades of compounds. Unlike TPV, these compounds can be coated on engineering resins (such as polycarbonate, ABS, pc/abs, acrylate, acetal, PBT and cope). Moreover, unlike most TPVs, medalist TPE does not require pre drying

compared with the TPE of competitors, medalist TPE can provide better compression set rate and make the seal safer. The compound can be injection molded using a high mold cavity number mold. All grades of compounds are sterile and available in primary or black

medalist compounds have significant advantages over rubber, which has always been the main material used for syringe rubber plugs. TPE avoids the curing steps required for rubber processing and eliminates concerns related to extractable and leachable substances; And unlike rubber, TPE waste can be recycled. As a thermoplastic, TPE can be processed in a much shorter molding cycle, and can achieve more complex design and stricter dimensional tolerance, so that the large printed products are basically free of edge warping, cracking and miscellaneous

Ross van royen, senior marketing manager for regulated products, said: "The rubber plug must move smoothly against the wall of the syringe, providing excellent sealing performance to keep the drug intact; and it has no chemical effect to prevent interaction with the contents of the syringe. Teknor apex has developed a series of medalist TPE product combinations, which not only meet these performance requirements, but also provide considerable economic advantages due to its ease of processing."

teknor apex produces medalist compounds through its ISO-13485 certified plants in the United States and Singapore

all medalist materials are manufactured from ingredients listed by FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration), have passed the ISO biocompatibility standard certification, and meet the requirements of reach SVHC. They do not contain DEHP (dioctyl phthalate) and other phthalates, BPA (bisphenol A) and latex. The standard grade does not contain ADM (animal derived material)

specialty chemicals and hoses. Headquartered in putakit, Rhode Island, the United States, the company has 13 manufacturing plants around the world, distributed in the United States, Belgium, Germany, China and Singapore. For more information, visit:

teknor apex's thermoplastic elastomer division is a TPE compound supplier, which can independently provide the widest range of TPE compound combinations. The Division has eight TPE compound factories in the United States, Europe and Asia, and its product brands include: elexar (Electrical and electronic applications), medalist (medical devices), monprene (consumer and industrial products) and sarlink (Transportation)
