Medical Elastomers

One of the major applications for Medical Elastomers is the manufacturing of medical tubes. These devices are used for the diagnosis and treatment of different types of diseases. Due to their low cost, biocompatibility, and easy availability, these tubes are made from medical elastomer. Plasticized PVC is being phased out of the medical elastomer industry due to environmental and regulatory issues related to incineration, recycling, and transmission of plasticizers. Moreover, new EU regulations are forcing the medical device industry to make a change and replace PVC with TPEs or silicone elastomers.

The global Medical Elastomers Market was valued at US$ 7,103.15 Mn in 2021 and is forecast to reach a value of US$ 11,762.94 Mn by 2028 at a CAGR of 7.6%between 2022 and 2028.

High-performance Medical Elastomer - Thermoplastic elastomers, or TPEs, are the most common types of medical elastomer used in surgical instruments. These medical elastomers are flexible and biocompatible and are thus, a great choice for high-performance devices. They are also used to create prosthetic liners and orthopedic bandages. These materials offer high resistance to impact and provide a natural skin-like feel.

Thermoplastic elastomer is a relatively new polymer material. These polymers have excellent sterilization and flexibility properties. They can also be molded into a variety of shapes. They have excellent wear and tear resistance. Further, thermoplastic elastomers are compatible with various temperatures. This material is commonly used in protective packaging and personal protective equipment. In the medical industry, it is used mainly in primary medical device packaging.

Medalist MD-200 Series elastomers offer high flexibility and elasticity for various medical devices. These materials meet ISO 7886 requirements for single-use hypodermic syringes. They also have low friction coefficient for steady travel force in polypropylene and glass barrels. PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers recently announced new Versalloy HC grades that target medical devices with long, thin flow paths. The new elastomers are highly colorable and tactile. In September 2021, Hexpol TPE, a Sweden-

Oilfield Chemicals Help Improve the Efficacy and Efficiency of Activities at an Oilfield Site

Image
  Oilfield Chemicals  Chemical compounds used in oil and gas extraction operations are known as oilfield chemicals. The oilfield chemical used as drilling fluids can include suspension, fibers, biocides, and clay control, as well as polymers, surface modifiers, suspension and rheology chemicals, fillers and particles. Oilfield chemical help improve corrosion protection, drilling optimization, prevent mud loss in different geological formations, improve oil recovery, and stabilize drilling fluid in high pressure and high temperature environment, and many others. Global Oilfield Chemicals Market was valued at US$ 68,855.3 Million in 2021 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period (2022 to 2030). Oilfield drilling is a process of boring hole into to the earth crust for natural gas and oil. As the drilling fluid generates hydrostatic pressure in the borehole, it hinders fluid and gas penetration. Oilfield chemical are used to improve the efficiency ...

Global Aniline Market Is Expanding Owing To Growing Adoption of Aniline in Formulating Rubber Processing Chemicals and Increasing Demand for Premium Furnishings and Automotive Interiors

Image
 Aniline Market  Aniline is a basic aromatic amine, it is found naturally in coal tar, tobacco smoke, and in foods. The compound is used as a coloring agent and also as an intermediate for the production of polyurethane. It is a colorless to brown liquid that has a burning taste. When heated, it produces toxic fumes. There is evidence that aniline can cause kidney damage and red blood cell breakdown. Exposure to this dye may have adverse effects on the spleen. As an aromatic amine, it is a weak base. This means that it reacts vigorously with strong oxidants. During oxidation, it forms carbon-nitrogen bonds. These compounds can produce carbonyl products, which can fragment proteins. They also contribute to protein aggregation. The chemical has been identified as a probable carcinogen. It is also suspected that aniline dyes can affect the liver. It can have a negative effect on the eyes. Growing automotive industry is estimated to augment growth of the global aniline market duri...
