At Sumitomo Chemical, we handle "super engineering plastics" that comply with ISO 10993 and are suitable for USP Class VI, contributing to solving protein adsorption issues and the miniaturization and lightweighting of medical devices. 【Benefits of Introduction】 ■ "Stable supply and shortened lead times" through domestic manufacturing ■ "High performance of medical devices" achieved through high-precision design and miniaturization of components ■ Proven track record as "PEEK alternatives" and "cost reduction of components" due to excellent moldability and durability - Is PEEK over-specified for the required properties? Reduce material costs by about 50% with our super engineering plastics. - Using super engineering plastics with excellent moldability allows for overall cost reduction of components. 【Concept of Super Engineering Plastics Healthcare Grade】 - Withstand repeated high humidity and heat, as well as gamma sterilization, exhibiting high strength. Sustainable for medical use as it does not degrade with each sterilization. - Impact resistance, chemical resistance, and repeated sterilization. Cost reduction made possible by high durability. - Miniaturized medical devices and wearable devices requiring high precision and complex designs. Exceptional fluidity achieves accuracy beyond expectations. *For detailed specifications, please download the PDF. Feel free to consult us for more information.

We would like to introduce Sumitomo Chemical's super engineering plastics. Starting with "Sumika Excel PES," which has low protein adhesion on its surface, we also offer "Sumika Excel PPSU," which has excellent chemical resistance and autoclave durability, and "Sumika Super LCP," which enables high-precision molding of thin-walled, small parts. Furthermore, Sumitomo Chemical goes beyond merely providing materials. We contribute to the future of healthcare as a partner in solving your challenges. 【Benefits of Implementation】 ■ Stable supply and reduced lead time through domestic manufacturing ■ Total cost reduction through improved durability and reliability ■ Enhanced performance of medical devices through high-precision design ■ Support for providing better healthcare for patients and medical professionals *For more details, please download the PDF. Feel free to consult us for case studies and considerations.

"Sumika Excel TM PES" is a super engineering plastic that can be utilized for resin applications such as motor cases, contributing to weight reduction and improved productivity. Since it can be injection molded, it achieves both reduced processing time and design flexibility. It features high strength and high elastic modulus, with minimal physical property changes up to 200°C, and can achieve high dimensional accuracy through injection molding. It maintains high dimensional stability even under severe temperature conditions. In demonstration tests, it has achieved approximately 30-40% weight reduction compared to aluminum components, and it has been confirmed that the temperature rise during one hour of continuous operation is comparable to that of aluminum. [Recommended for the following concerns] - Looking for materials that can achieve weight reduction for improved fuel efficiency (electric efficiency) in automobiles. - Wanting to enhance productivity in component processing. [Features] - Specific gravity is just over half that of aluminum. - Contributes to weight reduction of parts and materials through the resinification of motor covers and cases. - No abnormalities in bench tests under high load conditions. - Temperature rise of the motor is comparable to that of aluminum motor cases (under water cooling conditions). - Capable of addressing not only material selection but also proposing optimal shapes through analytical technology.
