Features & Benefits

Sterilize Without Compromise

ApecĀ® 1745 withstands superheated steam sterilization up to 143Ā°C, meeting USP Class VI and ISO 10993-1 standards. Ideal for reusable surgical tools, it eliminates degradation risks during repeated sterilization cycles.

Heat Resistance Where It Counts

Boasting a Vicat softening point of 170Ā°C, this Covestro Apec 1745 Polycarbonate retains structural integrity in high-heat environments (e.g., autoclaves). Perfect for medical vessels and respiratory valves exposed to thermal stress.

Easy Molding, Lower Defects

With 17 cmĀ³/10 min MVR flow and easy-release properties, ApecĀ® 1745 minimizes mold sticking and warpage. Reduces scrap rates for complex parts like syringe tops and thin-wall packaging.
