An ideal additive family for medical plastics

Plastics used in healthcare settings must be reliable, consistent and safe. Kisuma’s additives are trusted for these applications because of our unparalleled expertise, quality and consistency. The addition of DHT™-4 stabilizers to plastics is an ideal way to increase performance and functionality. DHT™-4 is non-migratory, so customers are assured that negative effects on medication and testing procedures are mitigated, and that the end product is fully compliant to regulatory requirements such as EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR).

Keeping ahead of trends

At Kisuma, we are always watchful of current trends and anticipating what might be around the corner. In the medical plastics space, we expect to see changes in legislation that could prompt a change in traditional PVC stabilizers towards calcium zinc based systems, typically used in applications such as PVC blood bags and medical tubes. Here, ALCAMIZER™ 1 would be a necessary addition to the stabilizer mix to meet the new standards and maintain the clarity of the final product. ALCAMIZER™ 1 also improves thermal stability during process and in the finished product.
