Teknor Apex has expanded its medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) portfolio with new grades specifically designed for biopharmaceutical tubing applications. Medical device manufacturers choose thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for applications that require flexibility or rubber-like elasticity, and they turn to Teknor Apex to deliver high quality, regulatory-compliant Medalist TPEs with a proven track record.
As a family-owned company celebrating its 100th year in 2024, Teknor Apex continues to innovate and deliver solutions to meet the evolving needs of the healthcare market. These innovative Medalist Series are tailored to address the unique challenges associated with the continuous processing of biopharmaceuticals through roller pumps.
Teknor Apex’s new Medalist TPE grades offer a compelling combination of performance benefits, including:
- Enhanced Clarity: Improved transparency for visual inspection of fluid flow and potential particle contamination.
- Reduced Spallation: Minimized material loss and contamination risks during extended pump operation.
- Extended Pump Life: Increased durability and longevity of tubing, reducing maintenance requirements and downtime.
These advanced materials are ideal for a wide range of biopharmaceutical applications including single-use systems, bioreactors, filtration systems, and fluid transfer lines.
