CarbonResin™ MPU 100

CarbonResin™ MPU 100 ofers a unique combination of mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and sterilizability. MPU 100 is Carbon’s first medical-grade material, designed to help medical product manufacturers accelerate product development cycles and improve the quality of their products. Similar to Carbon’s rigid polyurethane materials, MPU 100 is a two component material that produces isotropic parts with fine features.

Technical Details & Test Data

Technical Details

The material offers a unique combination of biocompatibility, sterilizability, and durability, in addition to engineering-grade mechanical properties, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance. Carbon has performed biocompatibility testing with documentation to support the material passing USP-VI and ISO 10993-5 and -10. Additionally, MPU 100 is sterilizable using ethylene oxide, e-beam, and gamma, and maintains its biocompatibility (i.e. passes cytotoxicity testing) post-sterilization.
MPU 100 is suitable for medical products and devices, consumer health care products, and drug contact applications including*:

  • Components of medical equipment systems (e.g. covers, guards, adapters)
  • Skin contact applications (e.g. prosthetics)
  • Single-use surgical instruments (e.g. handles, guides, trials)
  • Drug contact devices (e.g. inhalers, auto-injectors, pill bottles, single use bioprocessing devices).
