Sultron® LSG FG R5100 PPSU (Life Science & Food Grade) stock shapes are made from unfilled Radel® PPSU resin that is pre-assessed for biocompatibility. The stock shape is also pre-assessed for biocompatibility for up to 24 hours contact with body and tissue according to USP VI and ISO 10993, as well as wetted contact in bioprocessing. Standard food approvals include the FDA 21 CFR § 177.2500, while this specific FG type has the EU 10/2011 Food Grade as an extra feature.
With superior hydrolysis resistance, Sultron® LSG FG PPSU shapes are highly resilient against repeated autoclaving cycles. In addition, components made from this material exhibit resistance to common to acids and bases over a broad temperature range, such as commercial washing solutions.
The additional food grade compliance (based on food-related migration tests) makes this material an excellent candidate for applications in the bioprocessing fields, such as manifolds, valves, connectors, lids, and adapters.
