Materials for today’s healthcare challenges

In medical technology, there is no room for compromise. Devices and equipment must perform reliably under constant sterilization, cleaning, and repeated use.

Hospitals and laboratories are increasingly using stronger disinfectants to fight infections, placing higher demands on medical device materials. At Erteco, we help our customers meet these challenges by providing materials that combine durability, chemical resistance, and compliance with strict regulatory standards.

Our materials meet FDA, USP Class VI, and ISO 10993 / EN 30993 requirements and are suitable for use in medical devices, equipment, and packaging, including contact with pharmaceuticals, human skin, and body fluids. They are carefully selected for critical performance requirements, including:

  • Withstanding sterilization without damage
  • Chemical resistance
  • Flame retardant if required
  • Durability for everyday use

The intended use of each product determines the most suitable material. With our experience and our suppliers’ specialized expertise, we recommend the optimal solution for every application.

Expert support for the right material choice

Selecting the right material is about more than just specifications. It requires a deep understanding of the product, its function, and the environment in which it will be used. Our Tech Center team works closely with customers to provide guidance that reduces risk, ensures compliance, and supports reliable performance.

Some of the healthcare-grade materials we supply include:

  • TENAC™ from Asahi Kasei
  • Grilon®, Grilamid® L PA12, Grilamid TR®, Grivory® GV from EMS GRIVORY
  • HDPE, LDPE, PP, CYCOLOY™, Lexan™, ULTEM™, VALOX™, XYLEX™ resins from SABIC
  • LNP™ LUBRICOMP™ & COLORCOMP™ compounds from SABIC

Each material is chosen to meet the demanding safety, reliability, and performance requirements of the healthcare sector. Want to explore these materials in more detail? Read more here.
