Viscosity data for both grades were primarily measured at 180[degrees]C,
Texin 1209 exhibited higher viscosity for the specified temperature, due to its higher molecular weight (as indicated in Materials section), and hence another measurement was made at 190[degrees]C.
During the design stage, Clinically Fit selected
Texin 985 TPU as the material for the device's back hand strap, primarily due to its extreme durability and excellent molding grade.
The
Texin urethane is UV stabilized and can be molded in any color, he added.
"This grade of
Texin resin gives molders and OEMs a plasticizer-free material that offers better adhesion to a variety of substrates, such as nylon, polycarbonate (PC) and PC/ABS (polycarbonate/acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)," he continued.
Ashland will remain an authorized distributor for BMS'
Texin and Desmopan thermoplastic polyurethane resins.
Also new is
Texin 285, an 85A ester for medical injection and extrusion.
The
Texin family of aromatic polyester-based thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) resins has been expanded with
Texin DP7-1197, designed for applications that require durability under harsh conditions.
The cord connecting the plugs is made from
Texin 285 resin.
A biomedical grade TPU (Bayer's
Texin 990) was used for the research.
The company says the guide contains detailed information about its Makrolon polycarbonates; Apec high-heat polycarbonates; Bayblend polycarbonate/ABS blends; Makroblend polycarbonate/polyester blends; and
Texin, Desmopan, and Utechllan thermoplastic polyurethanes.
Bayer MaterialScience LLC has expanded its line of medical-grade thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) with the introduction of a new
Texin (R) resin and two new Desmopan (R) TPU resins.
Lightfast grades of the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) Desmopan and
Texin, developed by the company for covering all kinds of textile yarn, are said to be opening up design possibilities never before imagined.
