Overview

Product overview

Reduce risk in your medical innovations with stable, high-quality and regulatory-compliant colors.

What is Medical Grade Celanex MT PBT?The base polybutylene terephthalate resin is made by reacting butanediol with dimethyl terephthalate or terephthalic acid, and this material is the foundation for PBT. Celanex MT PBT plastic polymers are manufactured using processes and controls aligned with GMP principles, provides supply assurance, are certified for biocompatibility, and offers notification of any changes. Celanex MT PBT medical grade materials are also available with reinforcement for increased strength, stiffness, and creep resistance as well as friction reducing compounds for demanding high strength low friction applications.

Why Medical Grade Celanex MT PBT?Celanex MT PBT is a set of high-quality medical grade polymers. Specifically, Celanex thermoplastic polyester (PBT) is a semicrystalline structure based on polybutylene terephthalate that provides high strength, rigidity, colorability and toughness, low creep and resistance to a wide range of chemicals, solvents, oils and greases. In critical mechanical systems, Celanex MT PBT is an ideal sliding partner with Hostaform MT SlideX POM, providing improved tribology for gear trains and other drive mechanisms. The Celanex MT PBT Colors Service offers an excellent and unique solution for medical device OEMs and molders to improve the quality of colored molded parts. Produced at Celanese manufacturing facilities, our fully color compounded Celanex MT polybutylene terephthalate offers made-to-order colors in accordance with customer specifications, supported by our color technology organization, all while retaining full Celanese MT polymer grades service package standards and support. At Celanese, we believe that supporting medical and pharmaceutical customers are about much more than selling raw material. We are your materials consultants from initial concept, through part design, all the way past commercial launch of your device or combination product.
