Ecdel™ 9967 elastomer meets ISO 10993 and/or USP Class VI biocompatibility requirement.
Ecdel elastomers are plasticizer free copolyester elastomers (COPE) that offer clarity, toughness, flexibility, and chemical resistance for flexible packaging including medical and pharmaceutical applications. Ecdel 9967 may be processed on standard injection molding, extrusion blow molding, profile extrusion, extrusion coating, or film extrusion equipment. Ecdel elastomers may be extrusion blow molded directly into bags or extruded into blown or cast film for later fabrication into bags. Ecdel elastomers are radiation, electron beam, ethylene oxide, and autoclave sterilization stable. Ecdel 9967's high inherent viscosity may be helpful where good melt strength is required (blown film or profile extrusion).

This product has received a Platinum level Material Health Certificate from the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute.
