FibreTuff PAPC Compounds for the Medical Industry
FibreTuff PAPC compounds produce 3D printed bone replacement, meshes, hearing aides, foot orthotics..
PAPC ingredients are compounded into pellets to make 3D Printing filament / powders to replace highly engineered compounds. FibreTuff PAPC has passed USP Class VI testing for 3D Printing medical devices and implants. Benefits in using FibreTuff PAPC compounds include no offensive odors at recommended processing temperatures, lowering material purchasing costs, reducing the cost in processing with minimal drying time, utilize standard sterilization methods - Autoclave and Gamma.
FibreTuff PAPC being machined for proof of concept in prosthetic applications
The FibreTuff® PAPC formulations for medical applications have passed the following NAMSA testing, cytotoxicity and skin irritation studies for Class I and USP Class VI testing for Class II temporary implants. These approvals will be used in various medical markets to include prosthetic and orthopedic applications.
FibreTuff PAPC compounds for CNC machining, Injection and Extrusion
The medical industry is especially fond of PAPC compounds because different processes can used like 3D Printing, Injection molding and Extrusion. These PAPC compounds have been micro molded successfully where other natural fiber thermoplastic compositions have failed due to high shear sensitivity and process temperature >210C. Secondary processes like machining, metal plating and compression molding have been qualified with PAPC.
