device manufacturers in identifying the
appropriate material with functional
performance and mechanical robustness. But the current property data
across numerous materials is challenging to navigate due to differences in
pertinent testing practices from the
resin manufacturers.
Part 2 will highlight the key considerations for evaluating ESCR, thereby mitigating the aforementioned inconsistencies in testing and meeting customer
needs. A case study example of CYROLITE® Med 2 after exposure to a variety
of chemical agents, disinfectants, and
oncology drugs will also be discussed.
