Materials​ projects undertaken to date include:

​

  • Consulting activities for Silicone catheter manufacturing facilities including warehousing and handling of Pt-catalysed addition cure materials, milling, extrusion, punching and drilling, tip shaping and assembly.

  • Identification of a transparent medical thermoplastic material that blocks UV light transmission.

  • Assessment of opportunities to consolidate rollstock polymers by identifying/developing new materials that provide high clarity in antistatic formats.

  • Identification of a substitute material for a legacy ICI Propathene PP Homopolymer.

  • Remedial study to address small dark particles on the surface and/or in the bulk of Polycarbonate parts.

  • Cost-performance analysis addressing the cost and performance gaps between PEEK and other high-performance polymers for a medical device application.

  • Investigation of ABS-PC delamination and alternative material search.

  • Comparison and supply of Kynar Superflex grades.

  • Selection of PP homopolymer and copolymer grades for optimum springback and integral hinge performance.

  • Rebranding and marketing strategy development for precision tooling.

  • Rationale for removal of PTFE and silicone from medical device components.

  • Rationale and approach to auto-assembly of LSR valve by eliminating post cure step.

  • Remedies and approach to colour change and biocompatibility issues.

  • Material selection approaches, best practice and organisational strategy.

  • Consolidation of rollstock polymers by identifying/developing new materials that provide high clarity in antistatic formats.

  • Relationship between haze and wall thickness in moulded and extruded parts and how to optimise transparency.
