Altron™ LSG PC (Life Science Grade) stock shapes are made from unfilled PC resin. The material is pre-assessed for biocompatibility at the stock shape level for up to 30 days contact with body and tissue according to USP VI and ISO 10993 and wetted contact applications in bioprocessing.

Altron™ LSG PC offers outstanding impact resistance, toughness and dielectric properties. While the material is not suitable for steam sterilization and dry heat, it offers good resistance to other common methods of sterilization including EtO (Ethylene Oxide), plasma, gamma- and X-ray irradiation. These characteristics make Altron™ LSG PC components a favored solution for applications in the medical and bioprocessing industries such as medical device housings, analyzers and bioreactor equipment.

Altron™ PPO (polyphenylene oxide) shapes are characterized by their excellent electrical insulating properties, great stability and mid-range temperature resistance. These properties, in addition to good electrical characteristics, make these stock shapes an excellent choice for electrical/electronic applications.

Altron™ 1000 Polycarbonate PC is a transparent, amorphous thermoplastic that can be made with UV-stabilized resin. This grade in particular offers superior impact strength and elasticity, minimal moisture absorption, and outstanding resistance to acidic solutions. These features, in addition to this grade’s exceptional electrical characteristics, make Altron™ 1000 PC an excellent solution for semiconductor and electronics applications, as well as transparent structural applications.
