SABIC announces the launch of VALOX HX325HP resin, a new high-performance medical-grade injection molding polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resin. Developed specifically for high-precision parts such as components for insulin delivery pens, insulin pumps, auto-injectors and continuous glucose monitors, this new resin combines excellent processing properties with high chemical resistance and proven biocompatibility together.

   "With global diabetes cases expected to soar from 529 million to 1.3 billion by 2050, leading manufacturers in the medical and pharmaceutical markets will invest in devices that are easy to use, consistent and accurate," said Roble Amanda, director of advanced consumer solutions at SABIC. This trend of putting diabetes care into the hands of patients requires materials that provide high levels of safety, reliability and durability without compromising productivity or precision in high-volume applications. We are pleased to introduce the new VALOX HX325HP grade. A thermoplastic polyester solution designed to exceed the high expectations and stringent specifications of manufacturers in these industries."

The new medical-grade PBT resin has passed rigorous injection molding testing and exhibits high flowability even in complex designs, and excellent release properties with lower shrinkage changes compared to competing engineering plastics.

In use, VALOX HX325HP resin is highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals, mitigates environmental stress cracking (ESC), and is compatible with ethylene oxide (EtO), gamma irradiation and steam sterilization.

The new material has successfully passed international biocompatibility standard testing. Preliminary assessment to ISO 10993 or USP Level VI is available upon request. In addition, the grade adheres to SABIC’s Healthcare Policy, provides reliable formulation lock and change control management, and complies with FDA and EU guidelines for medical grade plastics.

VALOX HX325HP resin can also be used as a formaldehyde-free alternative to polyoxymethylene (POM) materials.

The resin is available as a pure, unreinforced material in a limited range of standard colors.
