Covestro offers two new families of the polycarbonate Makrolon: improved low-friction types and maximum strength glass-filled products. The latter are also suitable for sophisticated surgical instruments.

The new low-friction polycarbonates Makrolon M204 LF, Makrolon M402 LF and Makrolon M404 LF ensure that injections proceed smoothly and reliably – also without additional lubricants. Any place where plastic parts slide against one another, primarily in injectors, in the operating room and in patient care, the low-friction and wear-resistant plastics help facilitate the handling of devices. Covestro will showcase the new products in a customer webinar on March 30, 2021, from 3 to 4 pm CEST.

“With the new polycarbonates, we are helping medical device companies develop instruments for new trends in drug delivery devices,” says Irving Paz Chagoya, healthcare segment manager for polycarbonates in the Europe, Middle East, Africa region at Covestro. “In addition to the product advantages, they can also benefit from our more than 50 years of experience in the healthcare industry.” All new products are available worldwide.
