Factsheet: Vistamaxx™ performance polymers enhance resistance to gamma sterilization in medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging
Gamma radiation is a common sterilization technique for medical products. Generally, polypropylene (PP) resins exposed to gamma or other high-energy radiation sources lose physical and mechanical properties after exposure. Vistamaxx performance polymers can enhance the flexibility and toughness of polymers, improving the performance of PP resins after gamma sterilization.
