Life Sciences
Characteristic fluoro chemical products are applied not only to industrial products but also to the life sciences field. Fluoro materials with excellent chemical resistance, lubricity and cleanliness, and fluorine-containing intermediates contribute to the development of medical devices and drug discovery.
INDUSTRY TRENDS
Various fluorine-containing compounds are used to enhance the efficacy of pharmaceuticals and pesticides.In addition, high purity is required for the pharmaceutical manufacturing process, and high purity fluoropolymers are used for parts such as fluid transport equipment and control devices.
Medical devices use fluoro chemical materials where they must withstand strong sterilants.
APPLICATIONS
Biomedical robot
Since pharmaceutical manufacturing robots are regularly sterilized, they use fluoro materials that have excellent chemical resistance.
Flexible endoscope
Fluoro materials with excellent chemical resistance are used to flexible endoscopes since withstand disinfection and sterilization after opelation.
Catheter and guide wire
Fluoro materials are used to catheter and guide wire to improve sliding operation.
Dialysis machine
Fluoro materials are used for parts inside dialysis machines to improve chemical resistance.
Indwelling needle
In order to reduce the friction coefficient, fluoropolymers are used for the indwelling needle.
Medical Apparel gowns, packs, face masks, sterilization wipes
Since medical clothes like surgical gowns require barrier properties against body fluids, UNIDYNE water and oil repellents is used.
