Thermoplastics

Proterial High Performance Medical Solutions division is a leading specialist in the manufacturing of thermoplastic high-performance thin-walled medical tubing. Thermoplastic materials such as polyurethanes, polyolefins, TPEs, PEEK, PEBA, polysulfones and polyamides are ideal for applications requiring complex geometries, high strength, stiffness, strong bondability, excellent flexibility, good elongation properties, kink-resistance and chemical resistance as well as a large range of available durometers. These materials exhibit many of the properties of rubbers blended with the processing advantages of thermoplastics.
