Mediprene 500M Syringe Plunger Seals

TPE materials for plunger seals in single use syringes.

Mediprene TPE for Syringe Plunger Seals

We have developed a range of Mediprene thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) for plunger seals in single-use syringes. The TPE seal, which is mounted on the end of the plunger, needs to provide a leakproof seal with the syringe barrel. As ease of use for the medical practitioner and patient comfort are also key requirements, the seal helps to optimize plunger movement for accurate dosage control and ease of injection.
