Oil-Free + Transparent TPE Materials for Medical Tubing
For medical tubing the materials need to have high levels of transparency, allowing for clear visibility of the passage of liquids. They also need anti-kinking properties to ensure the free flow of liquids and gasses through the tubing.Â
 We developed the Mediprene Oil-Free TPE range to address these demands. Mediprene OF 753M, OF 803M and OF 853M show a PVC like behaviour, with slow recovery after deformation.Â
