The SPE Medical Plastics Division is happy to announce MiniTec 2021 “Medical Plastics to Help Save the World” To be a LIVE In-Person event within the MD&M Conference Program August 10, 2021, Anaheim, CA
Acetal (POM) is an ideal candidate for many healthcare applications due to inherent properties like dimensional stability, wear resistance, and lubricity. As a homopolymer acetal, Delrin® offers a high degree of crystallinity, which provides excellent mechanical properties. It’s high modulus makes it one of the stiffest and strongest unreinforced engineering polymers available. With the need for sustainable solutions becoming more critical, things like recyclability and light-weighting are also key benefits. In addition, Delrin® is now available with Renewably Attributed (RA) options, which perform and process identical to their fossil fuel based offsets. This talk will highlight the previous concepts and cover a healthcare case study.
As members of the Medical Plastics Division, you are cordially invited to join the MPD Board of Directors for an informal virtual meeting to chat, catch-up, and network. We will kick off the meeting with a presentation from an invited speaker (including a short Questions & Answers session), followed by a “half-hour social” to […]

Speaker: Dan Gorsky Title: Polymers in Ultra-Cold Environments in Packaging and Devices Abstract The role of polymers in the successful implementation of new pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices/packaging is increasing as products become more sensitive to environment. To manage stability and integrity, products are stored and shipped at ultra-cold temperatures (<-40°F); a temperature range at […]
Title: Manufacturing of Micro Medical Parts without Cold Runners Abstract: Micro medical parts are often molded out of expensive resins such as PEEK or PLGA. Conventional technology requires molders to use cold runners to mold micro parts. The weight of the cold runner volume can be 2X to 50X the weight of the part. The […]
