ADVANCED MATERIAL COMBINATIONS THAT ACHIEVE SPECIFIC BENEFITS
Because clinical laboratories must produce accurate, precise, reliable data that are applied to the medical care of patients, Americhem tailors its engineered compounds to meet critical standards that support the highest levels of quality. Our medical-grade resins and pigments can be combined to meet chemical resistance, temperature resilience, durability, color stability, electrical stability, weight, tensile strength, flexibility/rigidity, impact/fatigue/cracking/stress, transparency and other stringent requirements. When lubricant additives are necessary for smooth articulation, our InLube™ brand of internally lubricated compounds can reduce friction and improve wear. Similarly, we can impart antistatic properties into thermoplastics used for medical applications. Specific additives and stabilizers are highly dependent on each application, and Americhem’s material experts can recommend the correct medical-grade plastic for a device or part based on its end use and environmental exposure.
LOCKING IN QUALITY WITH LOCKED MEDICAL FORMULATIONS
Americhem realizes the custom compounds we develop for our clients result from significant collaboration, expertise, research, testing and investment. Our material engineers carefully select base resins, additives and pigments that have successfully passed biocompatibility tests, allowing you to obtain ISO and FDA approvals more easily. To maintain quality control of your approved custom formulations and preserve the integrity of repetitive manufacturing, Americhem has established a locked medical formulation policy. In the event you need to change your custom formulation, a multi-step notification of change material procedure must occur. This safeguard provides an extra layer of protection, ensuring your materials always meet exact standards without any changes or substitutions. Consider letting Americhem become your medical material partner of choice for all your labware and diagnostics supply needs.
