Medical grade Pomalux is made from acetal copolymer resin which allows machined products the ability to retain dimensional integrity, maintain stability in water and most chemicals at elevated temperatures. Pomalux products are opaque and are available in a wide array of standard colors as well as on a custom basis. Recommended sterilization techniques for Pomalux include EtO gas and steam autoclaving. Disinfectants and germicides generally have no effect on Pomalux, however, acidic solutions can degrade the polymer. Westlake Plastics Company manufactures all acetal extruded & compression molded sheets, plates and rods in accordance to ASTM D6100. This specification covers requirement and test methods for the material, dimensions, workmanship and the properties of extruded and compression molded sheets, plates and rods.

Applications Include:

Provisional trials

Instrument handles

Medical device components

Advantages of Medical Grade Pomalux:

Lot controlled and traceable

Resin complies with FDA regulations 21 CFR 177.2470 and 21 CFR 178.3297 for colorants

Resin meets the requirements of USP Class VI specifications

Stress relieved
