Advantages of Medical & Pharmaceutical Injection Molding
High Accuracy
The pharma and medical business deals with the human body and blood. Due to that fact, they need products with very high dimensional accuracy. That is why injection molding is the ideal process for fabricating pharma and medical products. Injection molding can obtain the tightest tolerances and the highest degree of dimensional precision. And since this is automated, it reduces the need for human intervention and errors will be prevented.
Resistant to Contaminants
The materials we used in injection molding are able to resist contamination. They require minimal sanitation to remain germ-free. Due to that, our materials are compliant with other requirements including FDA guidelines.
Minimal to No Material Waste
Injection molding naturally produces certain material wastage. However, we have a mechanism that recycles the excess materials to lessen our environmental impact. We can reuse these excess materials and melt them to produce other medical and pharmaceutical products. In this way, the waste is basically minimal.
Cost-Effective
Injection molding is a cost-saving production process, particularly for high-volume production such as producing medical products. It can lower the cost per product when we manufacture a high volume of plastic medical products.
We are also equipped with energy-saving machinery and automation technology. Therefore, the cost of electricity and labor will be lowered. We are then able to pass on these savings to our clients.
Excellent Mechanical Characteristics
Injection-molded plastic medical & pharmaceutical products offer excellent mechanical characteristics such as temperature resistance, tolerances, and tensile strength. They have high durability which makes them resistant to heat, vibration, blunt force, and other harsh environments.
Resists Sterilization Condition
Medical products should be sterilized or free of microorganisms and contaminants. And sterilizing them includes being exposed to high temperatures, chemicals, and radiation.
However, molded plastic medical products can withstand all of these without their dimensional accuracy being changed. They can withstand sterilization during the autoclave treatment.
Meets the Industry Standards
All equipment and components must adhere to the FDA standards in terms of cleanliness, sterility, and safety. And our medical & pharma plastic products comply with the FDA standards and other regulations. Therefore, they are suitable for pharmaceutical and medical use.
Plastic materials are also contamination-resistant and easy to sterilize. That makes them suitable for the pharmaceutical and medical industry.
Wide Selection of Materials
PE is a medical-grade thermoplastic that comes in different types such as UHMW, HDPE, and LDPE. These materials are ideal for pharmaceutical and medical injection molding thanks to their:
- biological tissue compatibility
- high rigidity and tensile strength
- resistance to sterilization and other extreme environmental conditions
They are commonly used for pharmaceutical containers, tubing, connectors, and prostheses.
PP is the material commonly used for producing syringes, beakers, respirators, test tubes, and other medical products. This material is popular for medical injection molding due to their:
- strong chemical bond
- resistance to temperature and radiation
- resistance to chemicals & electricity
- high durability
PS is a rigid engineering-grade plastic that exhibits:
- minimal elasticity
- excellent impact resistance
- body tissue compatibility
- good machinability
- high dimensional stability
Thanks to these outstanding properties, they are suitable for producing culture trays, Petri dishes, diagnostic parts, and other medical parts.
Polycarbonate is a durable thermoplastic that has high resistance to UV radiation, high temperatures, abrasion, and impact. PC is also flame-retardant. It has dimensional stability and compatibility with body tissues. Due to that, PC is ideal for producing medical parts such as:
- oxygenators
- protective gear
- transparent masks
Polyetheretherketone or PEEK offers high resistance to radiation, wear, tear, thermal degradation, chemicals, high temperatures, and other harsh conditions. This material is also suitable for sterilization. Due to these characteristics, it is used for fabricating:
- spinal fusion devices
- healing caps
- dental implants
- orthopedic devices
If you need flexible pharmaceutical and medical components, silicone is the ideal material. Silicone is chemically inert and features biocompatibility. That makes them suitable for the production of:
- catheters
- tubings
- connectors
