Your advantages

For more than 100 years we have specialized in the processing of plastics. Today, our product range is comprised of more than 350 different types of thermoplastic and composite materials, with a variety of modifications and special developments available. We are happy to advise you on the selection of suitable materials specifically for your needs.

Medical Grade (MG)

In certain cases, materials must meet specific regulations if they are to be used in medical devices. Our Medical Grade (MG) products provide specially developed materials for medical engineering. With the documentation of all relevant processes as well as product information combined with consistently quality controls, we are able to fulfil the necessary requirements. The highest quality is our standard. Our MG portfolio is focussed on ISO 10993 Type A "medical" applications with less than 24 hours exposure.

Healthcare Grade (HG)

Besides our MG product portfolio, we can offer you an additional product range explicit for the Healthcare industry – including pharma, diagnostic and life science applications. A wide range of different production possibilities and specific colours complete our service package explicit for you. The HG portfolio is not intended to be used for medical application in accordance with the Regulation (EU) 2017/745.

Biocompatibility

There are test results for biocompatibility according to ISO 10993-5 and the USP Class VI available for most of the medical & healthcare products from Röchling Industrial. The tests were conduced either from the raw material supplier or on the semi-finished product manufactured by Röchling.

Sterilisation resistance

Riskless re-use presupposes a safe method to kill off all microorganisms on the surface of this equipment. Accordingly, an essential aspect for selecting the suitable plastic for a medical technology application, is also the requirement for cleaning, repeated disinfection, and sterilisation of the product. The most important processes for plastics are steam sterilisation, radiation as well as ethylene oxide sterilisation.

Chemical resistance

Especially our MG materials show a high resistance against many commercially available disinfectants and cleaning agents. The results of basic tests are provided by the raw material suppliers and can be used as initial selection criteria.

Temperature resistance

Our high-performance plastics resistant to high temperatures of up to 180 degrees Celsius.

Impact resistance

Our Röchling products are characterized by a very high impact strength.
