Thermoplastic materials in granules for medical and cosmetics
Formac Srl designs, engineers and produces an articulated range of thermoplastic compounds intended for the production of medical devices, pharmaceutical packaging and for cosmetics.
The offer includes various polymers, including coloured and additives with mineral fillers, fibre glass, barium sulfate and bacteriostatic substances compatible with the most recent standards. The production process, ISO 9001-certified, is subject to strict cleaning and management procedures in addition to periodic validation. We use the best technology to guarantee our customers with the greatest level of quality: our compounds need to pass strict granule selection controls through an advanced quality control system.
We accurately selected the bases that we use in production to guarantee consistency of formulas as well as the sources of raw materials. Our range is suitable for extrusion and injection moulding processes.
Some examples of productions that the compounds of the medical line are intended for are: components for haemodialysis devices, devices for oxygen therapy, surgical instruments, connectors and caps, individual protection masks, clamps and roller clamps, fittings, injection sites, elastic membranes, dispensers, devices for pressure gauges, cushions, drip chambers, protections for transducers, gaskets, products for orthopaedics, containers for analysis, valves, accessories. The product portfolio includes materials with adhesion to POLYOLEFINS and special grades for adhesion to polymers such as POM, ABS, PA.
The research & development function is able to interface with designers and technical offices to identify customised solutions.
