描述
CYROLITE G-20 HIFLO High Flow Medical Impact Copolymer
Material: PMMA-based Copolymer
MFR: 10.0 g/10min
Impact: 5x Acrylic
Medical: USP Class VI
Packing: 1500 lb boxes
CYROLITE G-20 HIFLO is a high flow, medical grade PMMA-based impact modified copolymer designed for demanding thin-wall and complex geometry medical device components. With a melt flow rate of 10.0 g/10min — approximately four times higher than standard CYROLITE G-20 — this grade enables faster mold filling, shorter cycle times, and improved part consistency for intricate designs. It combines excellent optical clarity (89% transmission) with 5 times the impact resistance of unmodified acrylics, making it ideal for applications requiring both toughness and aesthetics.
CYROLITE G-20 HIFLO meets rigorous biocompatibility standards including United States Pharmacopeia Class VI (001 tint) and ISO 10993-1, ensuring safety for patient-contact medical devices. It offers excellent resistance to body fluids and many chemicals, with strong bonding to PVC tubing and compatibility with thermal bonding, ultrasonic welding, and laser welding. Sterilization options include EtO, gamma, and E-beam. Typical applications include blood filter housings, drip chambers, connectors, Y-sites, needle hubs, and check valves where high flow, impact resistance, and regulatory compliance are critical.
