Sabic showcased at MD&M West 2024 specialty materials for medical devices and introduces LNP™ Lubriloy™ compounds

Abstract

On January 18, 2024, Sabic announced it would feature new and existing material solutions for potential use in critical medical devices through the company's exhibition and two presentations at MD&M West 2024 (Booth #3287). The company would spotlight specialty engineered thermoplastic materials that should be able to help the device industry address pressing issues, including withstanding increasingly harsh healthcare disinfectants; providing effective lubrication without the use of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE); and finding alternatives to EtO sterilization in the face of upcoming U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. SABIC's first presentation will focus on new material technology that is well suited for wear and friction applications and the second will cover material solutions for medical device sterilization.
